Fan Clutch: Service and Repair
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
- Do not release the drive belt tension by removing the fan/water pump pulley.
- Fan coupling cannot be disassembled and should be replaced as a unit. If front mark F is present, install fan so that side marked F faces the front.
- Install the drive belt only after the fan and fan coupling to water pump flange bolts/nuts have been properly torqued.
- Proper alignment of these components is essential. Improper alignment will cause them to wobble and may eventually cause the fan to separate from the water pump causing extensive damage.
