Gotrek Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I'm almost done dissasembling the front of my engine to replace the collant bypass hose, water pump, t-stat, timing belt, tensionner, cam seals, crank seals and all that other good stuff.... But I can seem to remove the Fan clutch from the water pump. I've unbolted it (4 bolts) can't get it off. Felt free to whack it a bit still won't come loose. Is it on a shaft or?? Am I missing something? I ended up unbolting the fan from the clutch instead so I could continue. Am I ok to pry it off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Those four bolts are the only thing that should be holding it on, maybe someone put some sort of adhesive between the two You should be able to stick a small screw driver/prybar between the two and seperate them if just pulling by hand has not worked.

Gotrek Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 Yep I reefed on it hard and also gently whacked it with a rubber mallet no go. I started prying but then figured I should ask for advice and moved on to other things I'll pry it tomorrow now that I know it's not on a shaft or something.

RedPath88 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 There is a small section of the WP mating surface that does extend out, but I have never known it to cause any problems. Here is a pic so you know whats there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotrek Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 (edited) Interesting my bolts went in the opposite way they were bolts on the pulley and not permanent studs So I took 4 bolts from behind the Clutch but in front of the pulley off and that's where I'm at. No studs on mine Edited August 6, 2007 by Gotrek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotrek Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 Pried it off now. Not sure how but it was stuck on good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't need them anyway, I went e-fan and just bolted my pully on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
