how do you remove the fan clutch on a 1992 318i 1.8 liter?
yes you can remove the fan clutch without removing the rad. it is tight but it can be done. it is easier with the Rad removed
The fan clutch on a 1997 S10 has a bolt on the center of the front. Remove the bolt while holding the clutch still. There is a special tool to grab the clutch fan from the rear to hold it while removing the bolt.
The fan is attached to the fan clutch at the front of the engine. It is held on by one very large nut (I think it's 32mm). Usually you will need to remove the plastic fan shroud first. The difficult part of this is that the nut holding on the fan is a reverse thread, the opposite of what you would expect it to be. You turn it clockwise to loosen. Also, you might need a special tool (Google "BMW fan clutch tool") to hold the fan clutch and keep it from turning when you remove the fan.
Leave Belts on the pullys use a 32mm wrench turn clock wise, once its the fan is broke loose you can grab fan and spin off.
The 1987 is a b2200 NOT a b2600.Next to remove the fan clutch I suggest removing the fan shroud very easy for extra room.the fan clutch is held on with 6 ten millimeter bolts.Unbolt and it comes forward and simply reinstall new fan clutch.I may be leaving some steps off but this should be correct.
Generally if it is a thread on fan clutch, yes.Generally if it is a thread on fan clutch, yes.
all BMW fan clutches are reverse thread, so that means you have to have a 1 1/4 in. wrench and hit it hard with a hammer to the right (facing engine) and it should break it loose.
