    Hey I'm right in the middle of pulling my fan clutch off I have got the 2 bolts out and the 2 nuts on the studs loose till they just about hit the belt pulley. How do I get that to drop down so I can pull those 2 nuts off and get it all the way out? I'll attach some pictures help is greatly appreciated. [​IMG][​IMG]

    If the two nuts and two bolts are loose. Then lower hub with the adjusting bolt on top. If you look from the top, in front of the first valve cover there is a long threaded bolt that threads into the hub. You use this bolt to adjust the belts. Take a 9/16 deep socket on a long extension and lossen it off. The hub will drop enough to get the two remaining nuts off.

    you may have to take the belts off the hub first and then pull the hub up high enough to get those nuts.

    whenever working there near the radiator it's wise to put a piece of cardboard in front of the radiator.... just in case
