I have a 2004 ranger 2.3L and the pulley that is attached to the fan clutch is making a grinding and rattling noise, I removed the belt and fan clutch and I can feel the play in the pulley and it doesnt spin smooth.

My question in short is, how do I fix it?

It looks like the pulley is pressed on. What tool do I use to get it off and where do I get it? Second, what do I do after that. I talked to the parts guys at two different ford dealers and neither of them know what I am talking about. One said he would order the pulley but I don't think the problem is with the pulley.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

 

nobody knows???

 

Did you ever get a solution? I am trying to find the same info. Thanks.
