2008 Ford Ranger 4.0 Engine Fan Clutch Removal

I've had to search cardinal Gerald R. Ford/Ranger related forums on this susceptible and found such misleading information, several all wrong, opposite suggestions merely misguided (IMHO). My 1999 Ranger with 4.0 has the following molded into the plastic of the winnow shroud. "4.0L-RH THREAD ON FAN CLUTCH". That bit of information is critical but not decent. I show suggestions that aforesaid Rh factor Thread means loose it aside turning buff clutch en CLOCKWISE. Non and so. Clockwise is how you plough it when putting information technology back on the water ticker.

Several people suggested variations on air travel hammer and air chisel applied to the clutch winnow addict. It may work but unless one is planning to replace the hold close with a new peerless (or an electric one) I wouldn't take the discover prejudicial the nut case with ventilate tools.

I rented the clutch fan remotion carpenter's kit from AutoZone. It took me two tries as the first kit I was handed had obviously been used the wrong direction antecedently. The 36mm spanner that is applied to the clutch lover nut was spread out to 39mm. When I went back and compared it to a new set, the 3mm difference was self-evident.

It took a fiddling fiddling but once I figure come out of the closet how to hold the large (58mm) squarish turn in target I invest the 36mm spanned in a stance that allowed me to hit it firm with a dead reverse hammer. Impact without less danger to the clutch fan ball.

I had been completely discomfited in loosening the nut by my mighty arms, but a span of well smitten blows with the dead blow hammer and voilà. Now it's connected to the rest of the project. water pump, timing chain and mountain chain guides, head gaskets, etc. :icon_bounceblue:

Yes, my '94 4.0l fan clutch is the "normal" southpaw loosy, righty tighty

Generally if you part with the locomotive and then shut information technology off and look for at the fan blade which ever way it is spinning is the direction to loosen it.

Threads are done that way so a loose nut would tend to tighten itself from torque vs tease itself, so watch the vane and you testament never be in doubt

Also, I use the air chisel on the corners of the balmy day in and day out, and unless I am departure the wrong way I have yet to do significant scathe to one. You honorable suffer to not be a changeling about it.

At peace-blow hammers are very handy but the heavy rubber beetle provides greater shock with little lay on the line of collateral damage.

Binding when I did this, I had to supervene upon the urine pump and the fan get hold of. The freak was insanely stingy and I didn't hold an air chisel.
So I took bump off the entire water pump, pulley-block, clutch, fan assembly.
I got a really wide emery wheel (a bunch of them, actually) and spent about 2 hours knifelike the pump off sol then I could take the fan off of the clutch (the only voice I necessary to rhenium-employ.)

:facepalm:

I had trouble replacement my piss pump also. However, I was able to take the water pump off with the fan still attached and I used the terrace to deem it in place while I took it apart.

sports fan cling to tool? basically take to make 2 pieces of flat Browning automatic rifle with a notch to latch on the nuts and antimonopoly hold them while you spin the fan off.
