how do you remove the fan clutch on a 1992 318i 1.8 liter?
With a fan clutch removal tool from an auto parts store.
You need to rent or buy a fan clutch removal tool kit. you need to remove the fan and clutch as one before you can separate the fan from the clutch.
To remove the fan clutch in an 04 Ram 1500, hold the fan in place using a special fan removal tool. Turn the nut to remove the fan. The tool should be able to be rented through a local auto parts.
It requires a 36mm wrench and a spanner/holding device. The fan clutch unscrews counter clockwise.
First remove the accessory drive belt- then loosen the large nut that attaches the fan clutch assembly to the water pump pulley being careful to loosen the nut clock wise not counter clockwise (It is a left handed thread)-now you can remove the fan to clutch bolts so you can separate the clutch assembly from the fan.
left hand thread

To replace..got to take the fan clutch off. Remove hoses. Use permatex when putting new one on. Autozone has fan clutch removal tool. Very helpful. Thanks..good luck
Generally if it is a thread on fan clutch, yes.Generally if it is a thread on fan clutch, yes.
first remove the battery cables, then loosen the belt, and then between the actual fan and the engine their are aproximately 4 small bolts that must be removed and then it should come right off!
