Hi Bigwill,

I'd get a hold of a Chilton Repair Manual if no one can answer your question here, you might try posting in the PSD forum for the 97 model year. My manual just covers 99 thru 02.

Good Luck

You have to take the fan/clutch assembly off first. Then you can remove the bolts for the pulley. on my 96 the fan nut turns counter clockwise for removal.
Ford calls for a special wrench, but you can probably borrow or rent one from an auto parts store. I have a manual so if you need any more info, just let me know.

i took a C-clamp and clamped it to the top of the waterpump pulley, then took a pipe wrench and loosened the bolt (as said counter clockwise) the pulley moved a little until the C-clamp contacted the heater hose outlet housing on top of the pump. the fan/clutch assembly is the worst part of the whole job. it will also be a pita when you try to get itr threaded back on....
