Any advice? Anyone have any experience with changing a fan clutch? Thanks   Paul T.

Itmight be a linkage problem, or it might be internal. Either way, it ain't gonna be pretty as there just isn't much clearance. Fan clutch, piece of cake. 1-7/16" wrench.   Gregory A.

I know its internal but I thought there may be a way to "unwind" the diff if you were to put it up on a hoist, then do some magic with the wheels to unlock it. I have the shop manual coming soon. Ill let you know what I find out if I dont hear from you. How do you stop the shaft from spinning when you use the wrench to lossen the clutch?
