it was easy. the only hard part was the ford clutch fan tool
watch out for that finger tight it WILL come off .....don't ask how I know...3 broke knuckles and the fan on finger tight![]()
1989f2500---get that nut tight-----NOW!!!! first time it shuts off just right--the fan will unscrew itself with speed--and goodbye radiator---those boys are warning you--me also--
I have a long chisel I use to smack it at the edge of one of the flats in the direction it needs to go. I have been doing it for years after being showed the trick by a ford tech.
So the "Pro's" do it the fast way, not the right way. Correct?
I've run into quite a few "professionally" installed fans that reject the use of the proper tool because the burr it leaves behind requires grinding to get a wrench to fit it again.That and I'm sure the brand new water pump bearing just loves that kind of hammering abuse. It's this kind of behavior that I observed as a teen working at an Exxon station that swore me off professional help forever. But hey, it's your nut.
