fan clutch question

[mateo]

I suspect that my fan clutch is bad. Shouldn't I be able to rotate the fan ( with the engine off, of course)? All I get is a little bit of rotation.

welcome to the site!
Yes you should be able to rotate the fan with some resistance!

Thanks, that's what I thought. So I guess my next question should be, what are my options? Repair? Replace? Best source for replacement?
Thanks for the help.

Pete has the test for the fan in his gallery at STD.

Hmm, looks like I'm failing step 2. I'll check it again tomorrow when it's dead cold, but it's looking like I'll need to replace it.
