Pneumatic fan clutch wrench worth the price?

[dunk]

Bearings are starting to go in my water pump, got some slop in it. Never done a threaded on fan before so no tools for it. Is it worth the extra bucks for the pneumatic wrench? Looking at a set for $115 on Amazon. Relatively quite a bit more than a regular wrench, but far cheaper than a new radiator or getting into the quality issues these days when my brass radiator works fine and doesn't leak. Thoughts?

My kid used the big *** manual one from fords ase program when he was there.
So I dunno.
20 seconds sounds purty good to me.

Yes...A RESOUNDIMG YES....

Jowever a caveat....a good air hammer is needed not a pos one....

I have even hit the air hammer adapter w 2lb sledge in pinch when no air

Yes...yes it is worth it.

I've never used one, always just used a needle for an air hammer on everyone ive I've removed. I always reinstall with a large adjustable.

I do not have air available so I use the wrench that fits the nut and the 4 bolts in the pulley. Then I use a 36 and a 24 inch breaker bar. Never have had a problem. Also remember to use blue loctite and the thread is a left handed thread. If you still have the factory fan schroud it will tell you the thread is left handed.

Well worth it! Thinking about buying one & having it available if me or others need to use it.

100% worth the 120 bucks.
they come off instantly. and never fight with this nut again!
