Title: 1962 Cadillac 390 Fan Clutch Removal
Post by: 1962 CDV on February 01, 2023, 04:03:01 PM
Hello,

I need to replace the fan clutch on my 1962 Coupe Deville. I removed the four bolts holding the clutch/fan assembly to the pulley, but it won't slide off. Does this procedure require a special tool?

Thanks,

It is only about a half inch stud into the clutch. Might need light tapping.

O.K. So there's no threads or pins or anything holding it on. I'll try using a hammer this evening. Thanks!

Hey! A little PB Blaster and some taps with a hammer did the trick! The clutch came right off. Thanks!
