4.7 Fan Clutch Replacement (05 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK)

[@medicoremedic2962]

Nice to finally see a clutch fan on a 4.7L. I ordered the setup to add to my 07 WK and hoping the plastic fan fits. Same fan I used in my WJ and it works very well, even traveling through the desert. I don't see any issue with tapping the old fan clutch off with a chisel, you are replacing it anyway. Installing it with a chisel isn't necessary. the water pump shaft travels in one direction and doesn't allow the nut to back out. I've never tightened the nut after install, hand tighten and let the water pump tighten it back down. Thanks for the video, confirms I can actually fit this setup.

That hammering procedure will damage the pump shaft bearing, you better get the right tool my friend. Thanks for sharing.

I'll bet the new fan clutch bearing will wear out soon because of the fan being out of balance from you dropping it on the floor.

Was yours making noise before you replaced it !? That is what mine is doing now or did yours completely stop working all together!?

Do you have to disconnect the negative battery terminal first?

[@cj360trider]

No

Next time go to Auto Zone and rent the CTA Clutch Wrench for $16.00. You will get your Money back when you return it.

[@cj360trider]

I don't see the reason to. By the time I get back I'd have the job done.

[@YosiNaturalGuerrera]

You damaging the part by wanted to make the job faster, it is not worth it. Do jobs with care and patience! Ride your bike if you have to.

[@cj360trider]

Any damage done to the new part by putting on that way is of no consequence to the operation or longevity of the fan clutch.
