Whoever came up with this idea shoulda been shot in the mouth with a .50 cal sniper at close range!!!

Anybody got any tricks???usually no big deal,clamp the pullie,put wrench on nut and give a couple good wacks with a hammer.not this time.ive beating on it with a hammer,3 clamps and the air chisel.ive heated the **** out of it and it will not bust loose!had to walk away from it before i decided to burn it.

Haven't had to mess with mine yet but just to confirm, it is a reverse thread right.

My 94 is normal right hand thread. Turned off counter clockwise.
I was told it would be LH thread.
Oh yeah, I air hammered mine also. Soaked it with PB.

Wrong direction? Lol
I tried the rental tool and was trying to go LH, then rendered the tool useless.
Clutch nut is pretty bad now also. Left it off.

Ya trying to go the wrong way.thinking its left handed thread with the bright red sticker yelling right hand thread at me.doesnt help being tired from 3 hours sleep and this kinda "slow" kid bugging me.now its definately on there TIGHT,haha.

My thoughts on the person who came up with this still stands.there was absolutely no reason to attach the fan this way.

i completely disagree.
a sniper rifle is a bolt action design.
i would prefer to to use somthing with a little more UMPT!
say. a M2 Browning crew served, recoil operated, belt fed automatic machine gun :)
an AT 4 would also be ideal, however you would not want to be point blank with that bad mammajamma

It's said to go the opposite direction it would turn while running.
I like my old Chevys with the 4 bolt flange. Lol

Isn't the rear passenger side spindle nut a reverse thread too?

Would be a good Ford trivia question…. How many reveres threaded items are on a F series...
