I did mine a few years ago. Having trouble picturing which bolt you are talking about. Got a pic?

Do the thermostat and temp sensor while you are in there.

The big clutch fan bolt for the water pump. We can’t get it to break free

Quote HistoryQuoted: The big clutch fan bolt for the water pump. We can’t get it to break free Ah, the fan itself not the shroud. I borrowed a tool from Autozone. You hold the clutch with one and undo with the other. A really big adjustable wrench could probably do the same thing if you can find a way to wedge the fan so it doesn't spin. |

I have a special wrench for this but I use a big adjustable because I can clamp it tight. Then I smack the handle a couple times with a 3 pound hammer to shock the threads loose. Leave the belt on until you get it loose. Left hand threads if I remember correctly

Made it hot
At work so, can't do much more with the pic. Try tightening it instead of loosening it. I'm pretty sure that those are left handed threads on that nut. ETA: I just read Jake03's post. I guess I'm wrong.. |

They make a wrench and holder for the pulley, if the fan couch nut is rusted up there is a wrench with a adapter to hit it with an air chisel.
