Has any one had trouble in getting the fan off. I have a 2000 Disco II and have been trying to get the fan off forever but it will not budge. I have tried both directions and no luck. If you have any suggestions I would be very happy and thankful. Thank you for any response I get.

 

i bought a tool from matco that uses your air hammer to knock the fan clutch loose .. i love that tool .. works great on chevy trucks and i even used it on my land rover when i did the engine swap

 

Put your fan removal tool on the nut, (either a fan clutch tool or a big wrench or a big crecent wrench) and then block the water pump from moving and smack the handle of your wrench with a hammer, quick sharp blows are what you need.
It might take several, but that was how Andy and I removed the fan from my DI.

 

and soak the thing in penetrating lubricant as well. One guy recently brought his into a shop and just had them loosen it. I think they either did it for nothing, or charged him very little.

 

also realized its probably reverse thread ; ) tried taking the fan clutch off my buddies rangie realized after a few attempts it is reverse threaded

 

The Discovery fan is not reverse threaded.

 

good deal wasn't sure after changing my buddies rangie to an electric fan setup i'll probably be doing the same sometime soon and that would help to kno. i'd be beating that thing the wrong direction for a good while otherwise
