2000 ranger xlt 4.0 Amazing thank you Clay. No joke you saved me from headache befor I had one.I love my air chisel. Took 10 seconds legit. Wish I could buy you a 30 bomb bro
Replacing the water pump on my ‘06 Ford Ranger 4.0, cursing at the fan clutch bolt, then I checked UA-cam for a easier way, you guys nailed it.
Just like a previous comment, I would buy a round of beers.
Thanks and Cheers 🍻
im bout to swing this big old ding dong at mine i got no air chisel
Thank you very much for passing along the trick way of removing a Ranger fan clutch. You saved me hours of work and skinned knuckles. Aloha from Hawaii.
Glad to hear it Dr. Brian Mackenzie! Aloha to you as well hopefully someday I get to visit Hawaii I’m glad I could help I have a great day. aloha to you as well hopefully someday I get to visit Hawaii I’m glad I could help have a great day
The Best fan clutch tool I've found is a pneumatic one (used with air chisel) Lisle 4300)
Great video Clay!
Thanks,

Thanks for the video brother. Helped me quickly remove the fan clutch on my '95 Ranger 4.0!
LEGIT!!! Worked like a champ.
Awesome! Thanks so much!
Wow that actually works thanks a lot
This little trick worked great. Thx
I split my 4.0 OHV fan shroud into top and bottom sections. I installed the bottom, then the fan, then the top section. I strapped them together with aluminum flat stock and sheet metal screws. Makes it a hellofa lot easier. The big 6 Cologne makes everything crowded AF.
Thanks for the information I really needed you're a good man
Well thank you very very much man I greatly appreciate that Richard you’re a good dude too for taking the time to write that out and people like you are the reason that I do things like this
Welcome to the channel sometimes it’s hit or miss I don’t know what video you watched but I’m trying to make them better
God bless and have a great day
This worked first try. I wish I found this video first.👍👍👍
Thank you!
is that a reverse tread? which way do you hit to loosen?
Does the clutch fan mount on the water pump? Hopefully doing that doesn't damage the pump if it does
Thanks! Now off to Harbor F. to get an impact tool. (As with all tools, I'm sure it will come in handy later as well.) I'll store it where I can't find it next time, probably.
Yes they most definitely do come in handy. Just make sure you hit it on the corner of the nut and not in the center it will damage the water pump but most of all it will lock the nut to the water pump as well so only hit it on the edges.
@@sharpcarco Worked like a charm! and the H.F. air chisel I bought (not recommended for frequent use) was only $12. Yes, you have to hit the nut on the edge.. And some of them are lefties, another consideration.
Done it with big crescent and bfh being careful but powerful on bmws they are reverse thread dont know a lot these ccw or cw to loosen?
Awesome
Can never remember if these are reverse thread or not and you answered it for me! Also, I leave the belt on so I dont have to hold anything. Thanks!
Good plan i’m really surprised I never actually thought of that but that’s why I’m very dumb and sometimes often incompetent as well…..
But I appreciate the comment very very much welcome to the channel were absolutely very happy to have you thanks for the idea
I am rescinding a comment I made about this not working. When I gave it a shot with the impact while turning with a wrench I was able to free it up. Probably a useful approach for other applications as well.
My huts are extremely hard and crusty/rusty what should i do?
My clutch fan sounds loud. Is that normal. 02 mazda b3000 v6
So you loosen to the right?
Getting it off is easy. Getting the new one on is a pain
Here's my question and issue I'm having. The shaft the fan clutch attaches too that goes to the water pump. What is it called?? The end of that shaft broke off in the fan clutch. Does anyone know what that shaft is call and how to remove it?
You need to replace the water pump
What’s the tool
Wat about all that impact on the bearing it atatched to
I’ve done this about 100 times and because I don’t apply downward pressure towards the center of the nut . The hammer is acting like a wrench. And it’s applying pressure to the edge so you shouldn’t have any problem not to mention they actually make a tool that fits on the end of the air hammer that will also accomplish the same thing this is just a cheaper form of that tool.
But who knows maybe you could make a mistake and ruin the bearing on the pump anything is possible this is just an idea to try to help you out because sometimes these things are tight as heck
This video made me realize Ford's FSM is wrong... spin the nut CCW to loosen. Now that I'm done tightening it, it came off easily... SMH
2003 ranger 4.0
I appreciate the tutorial but it was not very descriptive. Left slot for the viewer to figure out on his own.
Sorry Charles I’ll try to do better next time sometimes they’re good and sometimes they’re bad. Can you tell me what video it is that you’re talking about and I will take a look at it and try to give you a better explanation if you still need it
I don’t use power tools
Would help if I could see
Premature water pump failure if you put it back that way
You could definitely have water pump troubles by just doing this procedure but the fan blade is designed to tighten up as it spins this was just a video about a trick not necessarily about a way of life
I cannot figure out how to do this
Use an air hammer/ with a flat chisel tip ,, hit the nut w/ the chisel tip right on the edge of the wrench flat. spin the nut in the direction that the fan spins while the motor is running (conventional thread) in a ranger, its to the left. I only had to hit it for a second, It wasnt obvious that it broke free. I then just grabbed the fan by the blades, it spun off with ease.
I’m not hitting anything with the motor running. 😂 But I get what you’re saying . Somebody could mistake you saying that you should do that while it is running LOL I’m glad you got it bro
@@sharpcarco lol
How could anyone give a thumbs down,great vid, must be bitter mechanics that lose revenue...?
They’re mad because I tagged it as a Ford and I was working on a dodge in this video the procedure is still exactly the same but some people are just tools
What about the not so nice comments LOL just kidding
Now that looks like how it's
RIGHT ON MAN 👍
Would have been nice if you had pointed out what he had the wrench on after it was out.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
I didn’t use the wrench I mean it seems like it would’ve been kind of self-explanatory since there’s only one nut you would put a wrench on if you were using a wrench but I wasn’t using a wrench so….. 🤷🏻♂️ I don’t know what the two of you were talking about…. OK so if you actually go out and look at the vehicle and look at how to take the fan off, it would seem pretty silly to ask this question but I understand not. Everybody knows everything….
Thank you for your comments though they do help my video grow so regardless of if there are negative and positive it’s all good for me you guys will figure it out
in another video the guy turned it towards the battery,
It will spin off the opposite direction that it turns in normal motion in this particular situation I do not remember right off the top of my head but that is the rule of thumb
You sir deserve the Nobel Peace prize! holy hell I broke two pri bars and a flat head
That is a common and easy way to do it but very shady and foolish. Remember, that nut threads directly to the water pump shaft. So you’re basically using an air hammer on the water pump shaft and bearing. Not too smart.
I cant see what your doing and there's no explanation. Ive been cursing this for 4 hours and seeing how fast that happened made me really angry. That was a tease
🤯🤔 well I don’t know if you can see it or not but you might should take it to a professional if you can’t figure out what the hell I did..
butcher
Lame
Thank you!
You’re very welcome Todd thank you very much for the kind words and letting us know that you are appreciated it welcome to the channel were very happy to have you
