I do not know your situation......BUT!!!
Are you turning the fan?.......It turns free nothing else will?
You are turning the "FAN CLUTCH"!!! It freewheels on the end of the water-pump shaft.....It adjusts itself for efficiently cooling the radiator with minimum RPMs as not to rob Horsepower from the engine!
Is that your issue?
