Standing in front you would turn the 1 7/16" nut counterclockwise to remove the fan and clutch assembly. You may need to hold the flat water pump pulley from turning with a strap wrench.
the fan clutch is attached with one large nut that is part of the clutch assembly .NOTE the the cluth has LEFT HAND thread.
I'm in the process right now. Comes out easy if the foot peg was not in the way. I will have to remove engine mounts to tilt engine to remove.
Linning up the clutch assembly so the pilot shaft slides in easily. If the pilot shaft does not slide in easily, start over, do not force it together by drawing the transmission in with the attachment bolts.
Most AC compressors have a bolt in the center of the clutch unit, remove that bolt and under that you will find more threads, most are around 1/2in corse, put the large bolt into those threads and turn it clock wise, this will push against the main shaft of the compressor and jack the clutch off the shaft.
It is on the input shaft of the transmission (inside the bellhousing). to remove it you need to remove the transmission enough to slide the input shaft, remove the hydraulic lines that control it and slide it off the shaft.
The 4.2 Liter and 4.9 Liter, 6 cyl engine, both have one large nut holding the clutch assembly onto the water pump. Remove the radiator shroud. You need two wrenches, one goes behind the clutch to restrain it from turning, and the other wrench removes the nut on the front of the clutch shaft. It is a two man job, with one person under the vehicle restraining the shaft, and the other person on top, removing the nut. You may have to remove the fan first, to get access. You man have to remove the upper radiator hose on some models.
by separating the lower balljoint and sway bar on that side
The driveshaft is removed to replace the clutch by unbolting the u-joints and retaining caps on each end of the drive shaft. The shaft can then be collapsed slightly to allow for easier removal.
you have to remove the clutch arm from the top of the trans because there is a stop on the arm stopping the shaft from spinning to release fork inside from bearing.
Remove either the engine or transmission, remove the pressure plate from the existing flywheel and examine both the pressure plate and clutch plate, unbolt the flywheel from the crankshaft and remove it. If there are many miles on the clutch, don't even TRY to reuse it. Examine/replace the glan nut/pilot bushing as necessary and lubricate according to specifications. Bolt the NEW flywheel onto the crankshaft. Using a pilot shaft, install the clutch plate/pressure plate assembly. Make sure the shaft can be removed easily and that the clutch plate is centered exactly on the pilot shaft. Install the engine or transmission. If you haven't done one before, good luck.
You have to open the differential and remove the retaining pin from the spider gear to remove the axle shaft.
It is simple. The blade arm slides straight off of the assembly where it pivots. No clips to trip or press. Just take a flat blade screwdriver and pry straight off. The new assembly pops right down on the small pivot shaft
