Hey quick tip to get the fan off.. ratchet strap!! Hook on end over a bolt on the pulley and the other straight below to frame of truck and tighten it down I just did it with my 04 explorer my fan came off no problem after that...use a small ratchet strap.

[@jeffroberts2279]

Please explain a little better? I’m gonna try this but don’t understand how to do it

[@mil1noche]

Thank you, it helped me a lot

[@72milliondollars]

Hey man this is a great tutorial! I can't wait to give it a shot on my 02. Can you rent some of these tools anywhere?

[@iamdjnam]

You can rent them for free at auto zone and advance auto!

For water pump gasket I use Gasket Shellac to hold it on and in place Roger

[@iamdjnam]

My father used that when he was a kid!! I use 3M weatherstrip glue on my cork gaskets.

[@jorgetoloza269]

Make a video of the evaporador replacement....thanks for the water pump video.

[@iamdjnam]

Will do!

[@jorgetoloza269]

@@iamdjnam cant wait for the evaporator...your videos are very well explained...thank you so much......God Bess You...

[@iamdjnam]

Hey Jorge. You want a Evaporator video or a Condensor video? Evap is in the car behind the dash, condensor is behind radiator.

[@jorgetoloza269]

Evaporator..behind the dash board...Hey thanks for responding....if u ever make one .. Seen like 2 or 3 videos..i but not on explorer..f u ever make one...Ford wants 1800 bucks...i live in Florida ..Fort. Lauderdale and its getting Hot @$$ balls....hey man love your videos...very well explained....thank u...

[@iamdjnam]

Jorge Toloza I have family in Clearwater! Evaporator is a ba$tard! Whole dashboard has to come out. I’ll see what I can do. Keep u posted.

[@MA-vm6jl]

Did you video the valve cover gasket install? Do you have a radiator video?

[@peateargryfeen3282]

Did any body see the process of taking the fan out???

[@sim7409]

i used ratchet stap hooked on bolt head to hold from turning & big crescent to turn nut

[@peanutdog2371]

Now the same part on the cheapest end is $60 that's almost 50% increase from 2 years ago. Thank you inflation. They say inflation is like 7% or 8% or whatever that number is. How much has the things we buy went up? what percentage?

[@muhiburrahman9627]

Thank you sir.

[@JackKnifeJoe9472]

Piece of advice don't use the metal razor blades they make hard plastic razor blades which are way less likely to mess up the gasket surface but work just as good as the metal ones

[@iamdjnam]

Awesome I’ll look into those. Thanks!

[@alexcavin6470]

Great video thanks

[@iamdjnam]

You’re welcome

[@hotrodriguez549]

Can you get replacement hardware in case any break during removal?

[@iamdjnam]

Yes M6x1.0 I believe. If not it’s M8x1.25 but im almost positive it’s M6

[@dtechcomputerrepair]

What size from autozone did you get to work?

[@belgarion-53]

Where did you get that fork tool? Brand? Thanks man, great video.

[@iamdjnam]

Autozone OEM brand fork. It’s the bigger of the two.

Que tal buen dia tengo una pregunta como es que van conectadas las mangueras de vacío que van al aire acondicionado de una mountainer modelo 2002

[@amberengel5558]

For one you shouldn’t have lime green coolant in a Ford Fords take orange or gold coolant. That could be your problem when you go through water pump so fast just saying.

[@iamdjnam]

I’ve never went through water pumps. This was a vehicle I purchased with a faulty one.

[@rolandmartinez3552]

Chris fix is that u

Wish u could have turned the car on to here the noise it makes

[@veezybee23]

Is the fan reverse thread or not?

[@iamdjnam]

No

[@juggalo719a]

How come wait an hour for the bolts and the hose clamps after the hand tight?

[@juggalo719a]

Thanks for the video BTW

[@iamdjnam]

RTV needs to get tacky then u can tighten to spec and it squishes making the seal

[@juggalo719a]

@@iamdjnam damn quick response thanks for that man. Just got mine replaced bout 4 years ago I don't think it cracked again I feel like it's the gasket I wonder If the liquid gasket was used without a paper one and maybe didn't wait an hour for its proper function to happen.

[@iamdjnam]

@@juggalo719a could be. They make special rtv for water pumps. It’s blue by permatex

[@velociranger7891]

How exactly does one take the fan off?

[@iamdjnam]

Fan wrench removal tool

[@desertrat1357]

You probably alread got it, but I used a window lock. I tightened it down on the water pump pulley and the spun the engine over to rest on the bracket next to it, then I just took a large wrench and loosened the fan bolt. Worked for me.

[@emileesilver7119]

What is torque in foot pounds?

[@iamdjnam]

9 ft/lbs

[@knowone-sts2263]

V8 or 6 cyl ?

[@iamdjnam]

4.0L SOHC

[@sixystyle]

Dude! Your fan is broken all to shit, that's a little rough on water pumps. 😉

[@iamdjnam]

Lmaooo I know it must’ve came flying off or something in the past. Bought the truck used.

The best pneumatic tool to remove the fan Clutch is made by LISLE #43300 $126.00 (worth every cent)! Roger
