The pulleys need to be held fixed to turn the fan clutch mounting nut on my 87 ranger6 2.9L Engine. How does this tool or an alternative tool do that.

We modified it by welding a spot on other side so it hold it so you can unbolt it with out it moving

There is a set screw that holds the fan blade to the side of the shaft. You will need a long allen wrench to loosen or remove the screw. There may also be some corrosion that will make it difficult to come apart. Some WD40 and careful tap on the old shaft usually does the trick.

I used my old pulley. It came off rather easy, but you will have to tap the screw hole.

The safest way to pull the blades out other than the wrench is using a small metal fork(silverware),all the others comments you might damage the motor

Hi Jason. I'm a former wrench and use a Thexton 419X GM Engine Moving Tool or similar. put trans in "N" and remove upper motor mounts (ie.. dog bones), mount this tool and pull the engine towards front of car. Or like others, pulling the coil pack sure helps. Depending on the year and car sometimes you'd be shocked at what you can do from the bottom side.. Good luck my friend !!

they're for allen head capscrews. Which are 6 sided screws and these wrenches go into the screws. You usually find these screws holding an object on. Certain knobs would have these screws in them. Things like pulleys on a motor shaft- pto yolks on transmissions ect. They might be on towel racks. If you work on machines they hold pulleys- furnace motors that are belt driven have these. There's no heads on the screws so the belt and rotate over the screw that fits down inside the "V" on the pulley. Hope this provides you with an answer.

Not sure about a "pulley kit" being available, however, I machined bushings(on a lathe) to fit an additional reduction gear set, to this motor for my project. I'am sure it wouldn't be difficult to do the same for pulleys for your belt drive application.

It did work, but make sure you get a breaker bar for it. If i had to do it again, I would spend the money for the $40 wrench instead of this one, since it really was really a pain to get it to fit with all the slipping and fumbling with the breaker bar. Save the time and spend the extra money for..OEM 27018 4.9-Liter Fan Clutch Wrench

I used standard flare nut wrenches. Craftsman usually has a set of three with all the sizes and that is what I have. The manufacturer would probably be glad to answer the question also if you contacted them. Regards. My set worked great.

Yes it will, I used on my 93 but the jaws on the long wrench spread to the point it slipped off ( maybe my fan was on tighter than normal.).... I wound up using a body wrench and pipe for the fan, the short wrench worked fine to hold the water pump/pulley. if you have a advanced auto/autozone/ pep boys ect. you can borrow the tool from them, you pay for it but when you return it you get your money back.

Mine comes off now and then,what i do is hold the base steady try to guide the cord to the middle of the pulley and pull hard. Works for me hope it works for you. Good luck.

The wrench works fine, unless the lug nuts/bolts are over torqued, that is when you will ruin the wrench trying to loosen the lug nuts. You need to use a breaker bar first

My son did it for me & he loosened the fan but did not take it down. It was a very easy process for him. You could probably look on the internet to see how it's done. Good luck!!

When you say loose. do you mean you can turn the fan by hand? or do you mean it wiggles back and forth? If you mean you can turn it by hand but you could not with the old one, the old one had a problem. The design has a thick grease inside the bearings that gives it some fricktion even when the fan clutch is not enguaged. When the fan clutch engages the plastice blades and the metal finnes spin together with the engine RPM. If you are talking about side to side movment, Most likly your water pump is bad. It is normal to replace the water pump at the same time as the fan clutch.

What about tightening the bolt between pulleys 3 and 8 to keep them from twisting? I'm just thinking out loud here. I Use my machine almost daily and I really like it.

Most are a press fit or have a set screw. Sorry I don't remember specifics on this fan motor. Send me a pic of your fan at kfritsche@msn.com if you'd like.
