Ok so my cooling fan exploded on me this weekend, shot a piece of plastic into the hood and dented it, stuck a piece into the pwr steering resivor, yes Stuck inside it, and put a hole in my radiator. So i need to remove the old fan, well whats left of it, any help would be great. thanks.

 

What fan type is it electric or viscous.....and what engine cos by the sound of it rad is gunna be damaged that needs to come out and be replaced, what happened to blow the fan??

 

fan clutch was locked up, just couleent handle the rpm i guess, i had to braze some holes in my radiator, and now i need a new power sterring resivor, i sealed it up but i still want a new one. I am going to put in some electric fans and wanted to know the easyest way to remove fan clutch, i can do it w/o help but just was looking for some tips.

 

Do you have the Discovery workshop manual? If not I could send you it in pdf format, someone kindly gave it to me. It's a Disco 1 Workshop.
But I can tell you when I did it on my 94 Defender that you have to unbolt it from the other direction - right or counter clockwise.
Hope this helps,
Matthew

Sorry to hear that. the same happened to me on July 4th. I accually had a piece go through the hood. What you will need is to disassemble the cowls. then get you a fan clutch removal tool from autozone a ford one will work. then once you have access to fan and clutch assy then remove with wrenches. you will have to replace the fan clutch and fan assy. out of vehicle.
