Fan
« on: October 21, 2010, 07:46:44 PM »
So I finally decided that the time had come to put in the Flex-A-Lite 485 that I've had sitting around for five months in the '01. I got the control mounted and all the wires pre-run. When I went to remove the stock fan, I discovered that the shaft that the fan mounts to is actually joined with the water pump pulley so that it is one-piece. Any suggestions on what to do now?

Take the whole clutch housing off with it.

it's not joined with the pulley, take the 4 nuts off and the clutch will come off, the pulley can be bolted to the waterpump just by itself.

You guys were right. I'm a moron that panicked before fully investigating it. Once I loosened the belt tension the fan literally fell right off.

I will say that the electric fan does make a nice little difference. I can start in second on a flat road without having to feather the clutch now. Coming to work on the freeway this morning, I didn't have to down shift in three out of the five places that I normally did before.

I put a Taurus fan in my YJ last year and love it. Other than a little performance help, I can now stand inside the engine bay on my front axle to work on the engine.   :stick:
