How do you remove the fan clutch off 1999 ford expedition?

Answer 1

You will need a special tool which you can borrow from AutoZone. One part slips over the bolts on the water pump pulley, while the other goes over the clutch bolt. Note that some people say that they are reverse thread. Look at your fan blades. While looking at the fan and engine from the front, if the fan turns counter-clockwise, then the bolt has normal threads and you turn the bolt counter clockwise to loosen. If your fan has right hand rotation, then your threads will be reverse thread and you will have to turn it clockwise to loosen. The fan on my 1998 Expedtion (5.4l, 4x4) turns left (counter-clockwise), so to take the clutch off, I turned the bolt counter-clockwise (left), which is the same as most bolts. It doesn't take much to loosen the clutch bolt.
