Neighbor came by the shop this afternoon and had his waterpump and fan assy with him. Couldn't get the fan and thermo clutch off. I thought I was real cute so I got out my Ford 6.9-7.3L Diesel book to tell me how to do it....yeah right. In in there it said that the fan clutch had Left Hand threads. That means CW removes it. Okay. Also said I needed a special Ford wrench to hold the fan belt pulley while you torqued on the nut that was part of the fan shaft. Well a quick design and a little cutting and welding and we had the magic special wrench. Away we go.....well, not quite. After a reasonable amount of banging on the end of a 1 7/8 wrench (about 2'long) I asked him for the replacement. Close observation of the threads on the shaft indicated that they were not LH as th Chilton (I think) manual said, but RH. So back we went and some more banging (ccw this time) with my 15" sledge and whammo she broke loose. So if you are in the market to change out your water pump, might file this away. Mark
