Please help me get the fan clutch off my Ranger!! Truck is 94 4.0L.
I gave it all I had and cannot get the thing off!!! (Why couldn't Ford just bolt it to the water pump like it was on my S-10 ??). I used the wrenches I rented from Auto Zone and the one for the fan clutch nut just made some ugly spots on the nut. I've got a friend who has a regular open end that I think will work. Is that thing just on there hella tight, or am I doing something wrong?? Im turning the nut CLOCKWISE when I'm facing the truck, which I believe is correct because it has a reverse thread??. Someone please tell me if there's a trick I don't know or if you just gotta put mega balls on it...
thanks

I don't know if it would be reverse threaded or not. But using some WD-40 and some heat from a torch usually works wonders (although you shouldn't use both at the same time unless you like large fireballs).

Your fan clutch has right-hand threads. It's just on very tight.

I just removed my fan from my 91 F-150 and installed a Flex-a-Lite dual
electric fan. The electric fan works great and my mileage has improved
by 2 mpg during towing.

Good luck
