rtd111 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 90 LS400 190K miles I am replacing timing belt, and have having a heck of a time to remove the fan clutch. I've got the 4 bolts off. It does not slide off -- there's not much details on LEXLS (step 3 on timing belt tutorial) and even on searches here whether that's what is supposed to happen. There is a spring on the front of the fan: does this need to be pulled? Basically, removing the 4 bolts has done nothing to the fan clutch. I tried to remove the whole assembly, but keep discovering new bolts and screws - the cable harness mount has tiny screws that are frozen and no amt of pb / kroil helps that. I have progressed to step 17 now, and seems like I do need to get the fan clutch off (worked around it this far). Also, any ideas on step 18? Its a tough one. Impact driver wont fit in the space. Have a handful of breaker bars. Crankshaft keeps turning. Thanks much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtd111 Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 Got the whole assembly out. Never got the clutch to separate from the housing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
