The term "crescent moon" refers to the shape of the moon when it is less than half illuminated and appears as a curved sliver. This phase occurs in the lunar cycle as the moon transitions from new moon to first quarter, and is caused by the relative positions of the sun, Earth, and moon. The crescent shape is a result of the sunlight illuminating only a portion of the moon's surface visible from Earth.

How do you remove a fan clutch on a Ford Explorer?

You will either need to buy or rent a special tool from the autoparts store. Its a thin flat wrench with another wrech looking tool that attaches to the end of a wrachet. Just ask for the tool for removing the fan clutch on a ford explorer. Also remember that the clutch is reverse threaded. There is also a wealth of knowledge at the following website(www.explorer4x4.com). Pick up a haynes manual as well. Hears how i did it. I removed one bolt so the cresant would fit. I used a nuckel nail puller put the short end behind the pulley and pried, put a 12in. cresant on bolt and hit the cresant with a 2lb.hammer.And it is not reverse threaded. drmack1@sbcglobal.net
