Hello,

In order to remove the fan clutch, you will need to use a fan removal tool. Those tools can be borrowed from your local auto parts store.

Here is a helpful guide:

I have attached the fan clutch removal and installation procedures as well as the water pump replacement instructions below.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.

I noticed it has been a few days since we heard from you. Have you been able to make any progress? We're interested in knowing.

Take care,

Joe
