The ones I got circled? If those will get the friction material lose I can then spin it and get the Allen bolts loose. I already got a new clutch going in anyways while I got it apart
Trying to get the fan clutch to line up with the hub to remove, any ideas??

Yes, that will. I have seen them just get rusty and stick. But if you wanna take the hub off. Pull the whole thing. You will be much happier than trying to disassemble the hub from the spindle in the truck. Trust me. Plus the stud sticking out the front breaks alot. Then you have to pull it anyhow.Rideandrepair, HopeOverMope, Wheeljack and 1 other person Thank this. -
Repaired the 1/4 plastic air line with a hole in it. That caused low air pressure to the hub and smoked the friction disc.Rideandrepair, Wheeljack, spsauerland and 1 other person Thank this. -
New material will go over the hub.Rideandrepair, Wheeljack, spsauerland and 1 other person Thank this. -
Do you know there are allen head bolts in the holes between the studs sticking out the front. If you remove them you maybe able to move the fan and clutch forward. Then remove the hub without leaning the radiator forward.
That is a Kysor clutch and there is nothing wrong with that. When I worked for a company we repaired a lot of them. Anymore I just replace them as it is not worth the risk and or down time.
Cut long cardboard in strips about 12 inches wide. Then work them in behind radiator to help protect it. Still be very careful as those studs are core killers.
I went back and reread some and other posts make more since now. Like kit masters for Horton But for Kysor I only buy new.Rideandrepair, Wheeljack and spsauerland Thank this. -
