It's generally not recommended to apply anti-seize to the fan clutch nut, as it may affect the proper torque and can lead to over-tightening or loosening. The fan clutch nut should be installed dry to ensure it bonds correctly and maintains the necessary tension. If you’re concerned about corrosion, a light application of a suitable lubricant (not anti-seize) may be appropriate, but always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for guidance.
Yes.
Auto Zone or any parts store that loans tools should have a fan clutch tool. it holds the pulley while you loosen the fan clutch nut
Yes, the clutch fan should run freely when the engine is stopped. This is because the fan is designed to engage only when the engine is running and the temperature rises, allowing it to provide additional cooling as needed. When the engine is off, the fan's clutch should disengage, allowing the fan blades to spin freely without resistance. If the fan is difficult to turn by hand when the engine is off, it may indicate a malfunction in the fan clutch.
When the engine is cold, open the hood before starting up. Try and spin the fan by hand. The fan should spin with considerable resistance. If the fan free wheels with no resistance then the fan clutch is bad. If the fan does not spin at all, the clutch is seized.

Generally if it is a thread on fan clutch, yes.Generally if it is a thread on fan clutch, yes.
You simply see if it spins freely. If it does, the clutch fan is shot! Do this while motor is turned off The fan should spin freely if the engine is cold. If the engine is warmed up, shut down the engine and check the fan. Warm, the fan should turn, but should have some drag to it.
you have to have fan clutch wrenches
Remove the fan itself then remove the clutch from the fan
First you have to remove the fan shroud which is bolted to the radiator and front cross bracket with 10mm bolts. There should be 4 10mm bolts that hold the fan and clutch to the water pump. What you generally have to do is find a way to hold the clutch fan in place, I have used a large flat tip screwdriver in the past. Then you have to loosen the 4 bolts and remove the clutch and fan as a single unit. Once out of the vehicle you should be able to remove the fan from the clutch unit and only replace the clutch unit itself. Hope that helps a little Michael
Using a special clutch fan tool to hold the fan still, remove the fan nut and take the fan off of the dodge 360. The tool should be available for rental from a local auto parts.
The oil can cause the fan clutch to slip against the fan clutch plate. The slipping will wear out the fan clutch plate.
