clutch fan

[darknight]

Gentlemen;
I'm changing out my water pump and ran into a little problem that I hope you can help me with. What can one use to remove the bolt on the front of the clutch fan? Thank you in advance.

I used a large, long standard screwdriver and a large wrench. I believe I removed one of the bolts so I could get the wrench between the pulley and fan. Then I wedged the screwdriver between the remaining bolts to use as leverage with the wrench. Hope this helps.

Does the "Right Hand Threaded Nut" stamped on the radiator shroud means that it is tightened clockwise, so loosening it would be counter-clockwise? I'm getting ready to replace my fan so this would be a great help.

Thanks,
Khoa.

Khoa,
Right hand thread normaly means clockwise to loosen the nut. It says the same thing on my shroud. But like I said in my previos post, I was replacing my water pump and couldn't figure out how to remove the clutch fan and I didn't until I went ahead and took out the radiator to allow enough room to take out the water pump, pulley, clutch fan and shroud at the same time. After I did this I had to hold the water pumps' propeller and turn the nut that is in between the pulley and clutch fan "counter clockwise" to remove the clutch fan.
So despite what it said on the shroud it was clockwise when I put the fan on the new pump.
