I've decided to enter the water-pump changeing nightmare and have taken a break to regroup.

I need to remove the fan (not the electric one). How do I do it?

If you're reffering to the clutch assembly Remove the 4 bolts where it bolts to water pump. dale jeepman600@aol.com :2cents:

Dale,
Actually, the fan isn't attached directly to the water pump. It is connected via serpentine belt from a pully on the fan shaft to the water pump pully. However, there are 4 blts holding a flange to the pully. If I remove those will it come off? There is a viscous pump on the other end (toward the radiator). I'm not sure how all that works.

Thanks for the reply

if you remove those 4 nuts from flange the whole assembly should come off. dale holler at jeepman600@aol.com i have different diagrams that might help you out

I changed the thermostat successfully!!! Thakns for the help, Dale.

Only problem is now I have coolant leaking from the thermostat housing gasket because I moved it. It's also blowing cool air. Hopefully, when I change the thermostat and asket it will cure all that
