How to: DI viscous fan clutch removal
#12
The D2 takes a 36mm wrench. See if you can lock the pulley somehow and break the nut free. You get a fan clutch tool at Advanced, one piece is the 36mm open wrench and the other piece hooks over the pulley shaft and catches a bolt head on the pulley....
It's easy to get off with the right tools.

I can CONFIRM.. THIS WORKS FOR DISCO I's as well this tool is only going to cost you $25 dollars, and you dont have to try to put vice grips on your pulley and not mess up the distributer vacume advance... Notice the distributer was pulled from the Thread Starters Vehicle. The DI USES A 36mm WRENCH as well.
Sorry for the HUGE image size

From the Discovery Workshop manual, "NOTE: Nut securing viscous unit to water
pump has a right hand thread. Release by turning anti-clockwise when viewed from
front of viscous unit."

Someone please tell me that this fan clutch is the correct one? I bought the one that goes on the 2000 Chevy express Van with no AC. It looks a lot different but I'm sure that doesn't matter I just wanted to see if anybody had any experience. Extra bonus points if someone can tell me before I get the water pump replaced thank you
it fits on there just looks different
