what's the trick to getting the fan clutch off
I've been disassembling most of the accessories, etc from my old engine, in preparation for my new engine, and I unbolted the fan from the clutch, and looked and looked, and I can't figure out what holds the clutch to the shaft. I'm sure it's really simple, and you guys will laugh at me!

Is that shaft part of the fan clutch? It doesn't just bolt onto the front of the water pump?

The fan clutch and shaft do not come apart unless they break. You definitely don't want that.

Yep, the clutch shaft is bolted to the water pump flange. The shaft is part of the clutch.

OK... that's what I eventually did. For some reason, I thought the "disk" part of the fan clutch pulled off that shaft. Thanks for the help!
