After much frustration, I tried your method with a few variations and it worked like a champ! I don't know why everyone doesn't do it your way. THANK YOU
@timlad5 nice, just got a boat with one of those, and I been in class fer a week tryn to learn everything eye can, and the classes are few 😆, thank you for sharing
Dude,Buddy,Homie,Homie Buddy, Dude,,, you save the fucking day. I was madder then a puffed toad messing with that thang so that for sharing,, as soon as I seen duct tape I knew I was in the right place!!
Absolutely "bloody marvelous mate" as we'd say in England. Made it really easy for me - I used some old plastic package banding I'd been saving for *years* - a small victory for us hoarders. Make sure to bash the wrench with a hammer too, as they all say.
Oh my gosh, I love you! I spent all day yesterday and 2 hours on other utube sites to get that stupid clutch off. I wish I found your help first, I would have been done yesterday. Thank you so much. Your fan, Wendy
My husband just replaced his. Had hard time until we seen your video with the tape and it worked perfectly. Used the tape and it worked perfectly. Thank you so much.
that's a neat idea however everything is off the car and a more practical thing to ask is when its still still all together and a guy is in the battles of taking out a stuck or frozen fan clutch all though I think this still could be that trick that will earn some fame thank you for shareing
...and it works!! It took a lil more muscle power than I had but a tow strap and a pipe wrench worked on my 02 Dodge Ram 1500. Thank you, thank you for posting this vid!!
Valve stems are pretty rugged. I've yet to bend one using this method. The actual force you are using isn't that much. Instead of putting pressure on the stem you are moving the retaining assembly.
WOW, That was so simple and easy!!! It was AMAZINGLY easy to remove the fan clutch on my 1998 Ram Van 2500 - so stinkin' easy I can't even believe it! Thanks so much, WOW!... I feel bad for those folks that actually bought a "tool" to do this!!!
I was frustrated, had the tool they make to take this B!t$h off, and three hours messing with it. Tried this and was done in 10 minutes!!! A Hero, an elite mechanic my friend. If i saw you, i would BUY YOU A 12 PACK
Worked great, rented toolset from auto parts store. No luck they were worthless. My clutch was crazy seized, took me an 18 inch adjustable wrench and a 3 foot galvanized fence post for leverage. But the strap held, had to use a little longer piece of duct tape. Was my last attempt, it worked, thank you
I watched several videos on how to stop the water pump pulley from turning when trying to remove the fan clutch, and struggled with that stupid thing for way to long. THIS method was the only thing that worked. Thank you for this posting!!!!!
When you are trying to make money by doing scrap metals, you have to do it as cheaply as possible. An aluminum rim on a good day is worth around $15. It may not seem like you're losing much by having a garage do it for you but over time with quite a few rims you are talking around a hundred dollars lost.
Oh my God you truly are a genius. I was on RU-vid about 45 minutes before I found your video. I struggled for 2 hours last night trying to get it off. I got it off to minutes with your idea. It would a been less but my pulleys dirty and my tape sucked ass. Why hats go off to you.
Its a 14 inch steel rim just cut the rim lip tire will come off...if doing aluminum wheels use a backhoe and crush the rim then remove tire...all that burning rubber is going to get you sick...old coates machines are 300 on craigslist then you can sell the tires too
