Has anyone actually removed the clutch from the actual fan? I am in the middle of trying to fix this and can't get the two seperated.
I have only Saturday to do this seeing I have to get on the road Sunday.

Thanks!!

 

just did my water pump but didnt have to remove clutch...you talking about those hex bolts that hold it on? I tried to remove one but they seemed REALLY tight..like they were welded in there! hit them with PB blaster about 4 times a day and see if that helps.

 

No - that is to a D1 - I have a D2 without the (4) bolts - would make my life SOOO much easier if I had the bolts....

 

my DII has bolts on the fan clutch

 

So does mine. I have not seen the ones without the bolts in real life, not sure how they connect or come off.

 

The 03/04 had a different style set up.

 

So back to the original question:

How do I get the clutch off the plastic fan when the clutch DOES NOT have the 4 bolts??

I have today only to do this so I really need help....

 

sorry Eak, I kind of side tracked your original question. Have you looked in the RAVE manual?

 

Yes - they dont show too much - but I didnt look through all 1500+ pages.

just looked in my RAVE manual, it doesn't say anything about separating the two..maybe they're one unit? If I were you and needed it done quick I'd get on craigslist or start calling junk yards and find a complete fan/clutch.

this brings me a question i was going to ask which is on topic here...after I replaced my water pump I drove my rover a few miles without the fan..anybody know how far you can drive with just the aux electric fan? I know this will depend on outside air temp and driving conditions.
