Re: Cooling Fan Removal
Be sure you are loosening in opposite rotation. On my 99 Silverado I had a stuck fan. I got a large chisel with large hammer so I could get a very clean start on the edge of nut. You do not want to crush nut threads onto the pulley threads. So finese is much more important than brawn. Once you have nut off be sure to lube well if you ever need to put mechanical fan back on. I carry my mechanical as you never know when electrical problems can arise. I have reused my mechanical on the Silverado before.
Oh also you can use some heat on fan nut just do not heat so much you swell the pulley threads creatin a tighter fit.
