Clutch Fan removal
 
For my series 4 turbo II. The FSM has been no help at all. I can't figure out how to remove this clutch fan. I lined up the ecentric pulley with the yellow mark on the indicator pin as per the fsm. And i'm baffled about the clutch fan removal. I did a bunch of searches on the forum and checked around to a few sites and can't find anything. I'm feeling like a huge jackass right now. Can anyone help? I know a lot of you have removed these to put efans in. I'm just trying to get this water pump replaced. so no efan arguements please.

there are four nuts on the back of the fan clutch (the metal part that the plastic attaches to in the center). Undo each of these nuts and pull the fan/clutch assembly forward and voila.. your clutch fan is removed.

the 4 nuts on the studs that go into the water pump, I figured it out. I was trying to remove those earlier. Just a helpful tip for everyone. If your pulley is turning when you try to remove these nuts, use another 10mm wrench on one of the other 4 nuts on the pulley. this will help keep it from rotating and allow you to break them all free.
