Cooling fan

Just checking, the cooling fan is a left hand thread, isn't it?

I can't shift it.

Which engine? On my 4.0 OHV, it's normal right hand thread. The 2.9 (which was never used in Explorers), though, did have left hand threaded fan clutch. I think the SOHC is also right hand thread, though I'm not certaiin, and I have no idea what the V8's used.

It should say whether it's right or left-hand thread on the fan/radiator shroud.

It's a '97 SOHC. I'll check the fan shroud, thanks.

I just took mine off a 98 4.0 SOHC during a tear down last weekend if I am pretty sure it was right hand. I can double check it tonight and post up.

I had a look at the fan shroud as suggested, it says right hand.

It's the first clutch fan that I've seen that is.
