Here is an updated video using the proper tool! ruclips.net/video/PoVQpbkCvtc/видео.html Thanks for watching!
Been looking all morning for the easiest way, saw these big tools and came right off no problem
Dude, don't take this the wrong way, but I love you right now!
Its over 90 degrees, and I only have so much time before my patience runs out.
I knew there was a logic behind it, but for some reason, I couldn't make it all the way there.
Turn in the direction of the fan!
Yes!
Brilliant!
Awsome! Thanks for watching David!
That wrench is ridiculous... Absolutely ridiculous.
DrShankenstein but it worked
Pretty common tool. As well as 4 foot breaker bars..36" crescent wrenches, 36" socket wrenches,etc...work smarter not harder
I wondered why my dad always had stuff like this
Well of course it came right off, thats Thor's hammer 🔨
Mines bigger 4’ lol yes ridiculous!
my water pump went out this mourning i was checking out vidios on how to do it,, and watched yours cause it was about fan cluthes,,, i have that same alum. pipe wrench,, i cant wait to try it thanks
Kool, now I just have to go out and get the largest pipe wrench anyone sells
Relax guys. I got mine off with 1-3/8 wrench and a dead blow hammer. No pipe wrench required. It’s been on there for 20 years. It came right off with only a few hard whacks with the hammer. Simple job.
Put a strap around the water pump pulley and have someone hold it down while you tape the nut downward 😁
Me too !
😂😂haha right ✅
I just happen to have my gigantic pipe wrench in my tool kit set. I use it just about everyday too!!
lol i had one of those I got at a yard sale doe $3 bucks too LOLZ!!
Dear god, quick and to the point !! Awesome
I try to be! Thanks for watching!
Thank you espcl. for the right/left thread tip.
nice tip about the fan and thread directionality 👍🏼👍🏻
Thank you for watching!
Reading how to remove in 2 minutes made me chuckle due to the time already spent getting the fan shroud (spelling) off of this 2008 Pathfinder. I read there's a way to adjust the clutch mechanism, so this loud noise might lighten up, thank you for clear advice regarding unscrewing the fan itself ! AAA+++
thanks the direction of the blade pitch was a big help
man i tried everything to get my fan clutch off nothing worked till i watched your video and tried the pipe wrench worked like a charm thanks for the video
Awesome! Thanks for watching Joe!
Great mate, I learnt something from you. Thank you very much.
Glad to hear it!
I used my chain Vise Grip to wrap around the pulley to prevent it from turning while loosening the fan.
Thank you! this is exactly what i needed to know!
Awesome! Thank you!
thanks man, you saved my day !!🍺
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching Albert!
Thanks. That was much needed!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. Great video
Helpful to the point
Nice. Let me add that if you don't have a Freaking Giant Pipe Wrench, you can use a 10mm bolt (one from that pulley the fan is on) and put in the hole next to it, to lock it against the water pump that is behind it. Then you can take the fan/clutch off as he shows later.
Does it matter what size 10mm bolt to use? I've been racking my brain on how to get mine off since I have to replace my fan shroud. I've tried the wrench on the idle puller but the belt just turns.
That's a helluva idea too!!! I appreciate it!!
This is exactly what I needed to know my friend. Thank you
Awesome Tip! This I know will work! Wish me luck..Headed out to the barn as we speak! Thanks Brother! ~ROLL TIDE~
Many videos on this issue they tell you what to do but don't show you it can be done.you showed me it can be done. Thanks
No problem 👍
Thank you for being so clear you helped us tremendously
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Looked good to me, thanks
Thanks for watching!
What size is the adjustable wrench?
A Rigid TXV wrench works very well and they are about $30.
My shroud is one piece on 93 ford e150 with 5.8L. This is going to be fun. Thanks for the vid.
Very nice showing ,And simple
Thank you so much 😊
GREAT EXPLANATION.
Thank you for watching!
Thanks I hope this will help me.
You say in the comments you got your massive pipe wrench at harbor freight, however you neglected to mention the inch size. Is it the Aluminum 36-inch one?
Ended up using a large crescent wrench and elbow grease on my 96 zj fan clutch, at 269000 miles, hoping for at least 10000 more .
thanks man, it worked..
Thank you for watching!
That is a glorious pipe wrench
It is one of my favorite wrenches! Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks. Now all I have to do is go out and buy a GIGANTIC pipe wrench.
Available at most Home Depots and Harbor Freights. Thanks for watching!
So with the belt off how would you know if your fan is in good working order. Mine moves freely in both directions?
Here's how I've been doing it for years. Air hammer with a pointed bit. Grind a bit to a sharp point. Put the point on the left side of the nut and tap the trigger to make an indentation. Then lean the hammer to your right with the bit in the indentation. Tap the trigger. The nut is loose.
How I've done it for 20 years works every time and I've showed 100s of people how to now on the new water pump box it says will void warranty lol I just bump the trigger not try to brake the dam thing off but some people got to show u how it's done I guess lol
And I don't do a sharp point I use a wore out pointed bit don't show on fan clutch nut as bad or if at all just my 2 cent
Ah yes, I keep my air hammer next to my giant pipe wrench and flux capacitor
I was out here struggling 🤣🤣🤣🤣 good tip bro 🫡💪🏽💪🏽
Glad I could help!
Do you take that wrench with you on date's too
What?
@@2carpros She says "Is that a wrench in your pocket?"
great and to the point, thanks and fuck all the negative commenters. they are here looking for help and you gave them one direction to go anyhow.
So you have a reverse rotation engen?
U put the big pipe wrench on and the thin wrench on the same nut??? So is the weight of that huge wrench holding the water pump in place and u hit the thinner wrench? Can't see of the big wrench.
For those without a massive pipewrench use locking pliers on the black bell so it doesn't move
Did you mean black belt? I'm probably being dumb considering how much time I spent on this thing, lol. I wouldn't think you meant belt, but I've lost my mind at this point.
Better wrap those teeth with electrical tape
Good idea
What is that tool called? The one before the giant pipe wrench
What about a screwdriver placed between the bolts on the actual pulley
It can't rest on the nut you are trying to turn
That’s funny it works for me
Helluva idea I'm going to try that .... Right after I put this mammoth sized pipe wrench back in the corner!!
Finally someone addresses the right way to turn the nut!
Thanks for watching Peter!
Cool but what is the brand of the actual tool you need showed in the picture ?
How do you pull off the fan housing, I am getting ready to replace the clutch fan on my Ford F-250 Super Duty XLT 5.4L V8 this weekend as soon as the part comes in
Thanks for sharing my friend
Thanks for visiting!
How did you get the shroud off 1st cause poor design on a lot of vehicles make that impossible
Thank you
I have a dodge ram 2009 5.7 l and I replaced the clutch thinking it whas that and when I turned on the truck the fans still turned on even tho it was cold engine I could swear it was the clutch any advise?? I'm stressed out something so simple and I cant figure it out and I wanna be a technician;/
what size is the nut????
Wow.. I'm already half way done breaking through my radiator getting to the engine fan 🙃
Thanks for explain big 👨
Thanks for watching!
My favourite part is "if you don't have the proper tool you can just use this" (as if anyone has a human sized pipe wrench available). Thanks buddy. thanks a lot.
Every single hardware store I have ever been to has had them in stock. Thanks for watching!
@@2carpros So your telling me it's going to take 2 minutes to go hunt down this human sized wrench... hmm ok.. You think you are saving face but your not we all know that this video is anything except for what it says it is. Baby instead of coming at me you should rename the title.. there's a no brainer idea.
@@funkymonkey529 damn man calm down. He posted this video for free and our of the good of his heart. It ain't his fault that the radiator fan requires a pipe wrench the size of a golf club.
Put a piece of thick cardboard between the radiador before starting to remove that parts
A nice piece of sheet metal is better
Is that a 32 or 36mm nut?
Thanks
Good video
Thanks for watching!
Thanks! Wouldn'tve ever thought to hold the pulley like that!!
Thanks for watching!
how about putting it back on ?
Yeah I just so happen to have one of those monster pipe wrenches in my back pocket
It's better if you adjust the deflector dish to emit a tachyon beam.
Yeah
Awesome..!! Thank U Bro..!!
Thank you so much for watching!
What size wrench would sure be helpful. Mercury's suck .
How hard to change w pump 1996 jimmy
I had to remove the fan, pulley and pump as a unit. Fan nut tool slipped around the nut due to age and open end very thin wrench.
Awesome thanks!
You bet!
I had some TNT that I had ordered from Acme, the same supplier Wiley Coyote uses...I think I used to much... Haven't been able to find my Yukon yet!
😁
Whoops...
Tfw you actually have one of those wrenches
Will this method scratch or damage the pulley?
What part are you holding with the big wrench?
The pulley.
Not a bad method but I have a hammer drill and I put it on chipping mode and start chipping at an angle on the edge of the nut and it comes lose less than 10 seconds never failed on me I also use it on bolts with a stripped head
All of you complaining about the wrench he used and the fan shroud already being off, grow up! The title says "2 minutes to remove the FAN!!" I found the video very helpful. As for the wrench? He first shows the tools you can rent or buy from an auto parts.... And as an ALTERNATIVE says you can use the big pipe wrench! And demonstrated how! Oh and yes I already own one! So it worked great! Thanks for the helpful video!
Thank you so much for your kind and amazing comment.
yeah whatever, rebekah
So is the pipe wrench on the pulley itself or the bolts that holds the pulley to the pump?
Its on the pulley. Thanks for watching!
@@2carpros Wouldn't that damage the pulley though?
Would this work with a 2002 Ford Ranger? Don't want to break anything it's my first car.
Yeah it will. Thanks for watching!
Good Job making Look Easy, where there is a Will there is a Way "
Yep! Thanks for watching!
that must be a submarine pipe wrench.
Got it at Harbor Freight, thanks for watching!
I was going to make a comment but,everyone beat me to it.I wouldn’t let these guys work on my wheel barrow.🤪🤪🤪
Thanks bud!
Pipe wrench of holding +5000
So much for the fan shroud being in the way
Take it off. Thanks for watching!
Thanks..

This is of course if the dealers apprentice didn't do it up with a wrench like they do the oil filter and there favourite impact gun your wheel nuts on, maybe even cross threaded for you.... "What a service"
How do I get the fan shroud back on in 2 min
What is the name of the tools shown in picture ?
Is it hard to remove the fan from the clutch on a Ford E250 2007.
No harder than this to be honest. Thanks for watching!
thats a big pipe wrench
Gotta have it! Thank you for watching!
Wouldn't the fan unscrew itself when it spins, since the direction it spins is the same direction you turn the nut to remove it?
Nope. It winds itself more on. Thanks for watching!
Thanks let me just grab my massive pipe wrentch from my tool box and im ready 😜
Dont know if chevy ford dodge asian ????
Great video, now give Thor his wrench back.
The only time I've seen a pipe wrench that size is in this video. 💀 when you pulled that wrench out.
Every hardware store I have been to has them and it doesn't have to be quite that big. Thanks for watching!
thankyou
You're welcome!
How you talk the fan clutch on a1996 mazda 4.0 l
"Kanishiwa Clutchoson!"
I'm SURE that we ALL have a gigantic pipe wrench in our toolbox just like yours because we use it for everyday fixes. smh
They are available at Harbor Freight for not a lot of money. And they are a heck of a lot more common than the tool meant to hold the water pump. Thanks for watching!
you can also rent specialty tools at advance, autozone, o'reilly's, or some other auto parts store. ...🤔 i dunno if they rent out gigantic pipe wrenches, though...
@@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power Bent 2 of the tools from Orielly's - they aren't man enough.
@@floatingmaples9649 aw, man....i don't remember what i did but i took 5 times longer than i had to taking it off because of the way the chain wrench was explained to me-- or actually, was _not_ explained to me.
i dunno if yours is fused on, but it's not hard if the tools are set up in the right way. the setup is the hardest part 😂
I actually have a few, and definitely use every day
C-clamp worked well
Good idea! Thanks for watching!
Why didnt u use the BIG pipe wrench ? 😄
