How Do You Remove A Chevy Fan Clutch?
The fan clutch on your Chevy helps the cooling fan blow air through the radiator and over the engine, thus helping the water pump and radiator to control engine temperature. However, a worn out or damaged clutch may lock and cause the engine to overheat if the fan fails to operate or operates below the required temperature if the clutch locks in the “On” position. To replace the fan clutch, you will need a couple of special tools. Before you begin, make sure you have the right set of tools for your particular Chevy model. Park your Chevy vehicle on a level surface. Open the hood and remove the upper fan shroud using a ratchet, ratchet extension and socket. Install special tool J-41240-1 or a similar clutch-holding tool into the water pump access holes. This will prevent the clutch from turning as you release the fan clutch nut. Install special tool J-41240-2 or similar fan clutch hub wrench on the fan clutch nut. Then insert a breaker bar on the special tool square hole. Hold the water
