If you're like me and came to this video to find out which way the clutch fan spins off: Its right hand thread. Loosen it off like you would any other bolt. You're welcome
Yeah don't do this. The top half of the fan shroud unbolts. Don't mangle it. Then use a air hammer to spin the fan clutch off, it's a normal thread. Then the whole fan and clutch lifts out where the shroud was. No messing about swapping fan in the engine bay. Hack.
Thank you for this comment. I almost did what the guy in this video did and drill rivets, etc. It only took me 10 mins to pull the shroud once I realized it was split design.
As @paulwatson4321 said DO NOT DO THIS!!! The fan shroud is split from the factory. It is held on by three 8mm bolts driver side, and two 8mm passenger side. Move the power steering reservoir and move the coolant tank on the opposite side off to the side. After that the whole assembly lifts out with the part with the rivets. Took me around 10 minutes.
In his end comments he says he used a pipe wrench to do the clutch nut ??? I don’t use a pipe wrench for anything but pipe. I don’t think much of this content.

It was a pain to do.
So lefty loosey righty tighty? Was it extremely difficult to take off?
@@restorationshorts sometimes they can be. Your biggest ally is getting the pulley held in place and then using a fan clutch tool with an air hammer.

Which way does the fan come off?
Thx for The tutorial!!
Now it’s my turn to replace a 6.7 clutch
My belt tensioner went out yesterday at 170k miles so you might want to replace that as well

Wtf, you didn’t even show us how to get the clutch off......
Exactly
Yes!my thoughts exactly!!!🤬
yes. video qhould have been decent if he would have showed how to remove the nut that holds the clutch on

Hey I'm wondering what that special tool was for, is it to hold it in place will unvrank the bolt for the clutch fan?!
I just used fast force I hit the wrench with a rubber hammer.
So that clutch fan tool is it to hold the wheel so u can losses the clutch.?
@@deniskupresak8276 yeah and just holds the wheel so it doesn't spin.
My guy skipped the most important part of the clutch swap which is showing how the clutch comes off and goes back on.
Telling us what you had for dinner before showing us step by step.
Witch direction to loose the fan clutch
Righty tighty lefty Lucy.
Ya the prob most important part and he skips over it ffs ... a lot of hubs are reverse thread so just watching this to find out and skips over it
How did you know that your fan clutch was faulty.
When you crank up the truck for the first time if the day it should run full force for a couple of seconds in till the truck tells it is not needed.
Some good tips thanks
Thank you
Dang! After all this then you had to fix the vacuum pump leak.
Waste of time the whole point of people viewing this is which way does it spin he doesn't show the ha d part lol
What’s the name of that special tool?
It's just a pipe wrench
terrible video
