Are you fkn kidding me!? I've been a mechanic for 20 years and have always fought these tight bastards. I usually use my air hammer on the edge of the nut and bump it loose but today I am way out in a field with basic tools and stuck. I watched this video and tried it. IT FRIGGN WORKS!!! 5 hits on the wrench and this rusty titanic fan spun off like buttered biscuits! Thanks!!!

This has got to be the best method ever for removing the fan. It worked on a 23 year old GMC Sonoma and took less than a minute with a few taps from a hammer. So glad I found this video before I tried some of the other ridiculous fan removal tips on KZbin.

Thanks for sharing your experience..much appreciated brother!

Saw many videos on "tricks and tips" for this procedure. Then I saw yours. Even though I bought the fan clutch tool, I never used it. I used a brand new 18" pipe wrench and did the same thing. The new teeth on the pipe wrench grabbed the nut and two hits with the hammer in a downward swing and that puppy was free. Put it back on with the same tools except putting it back on I swung sideways at the pipe wrench......perfection. It was supposed to be the hardest part of the job, and yet, it was the easiest with this method! Kudos for the tip!!!

It WORKED! My daughter's BMW 525i is 19 years old and the fan clutch nut defied all other methods of loosening. I hit it about 8 times and voila! The winning hammer was an all-steel 16 oz conventional hammer, not a single-jack sledge, in this case. Of course, I had to acquire the perfect heavy-duty 32mm combination wrench, which would not wilt under the tangential blow of a hammer.

This worked so well I thought the wrench was slipping and it didn't work! Thanks! If anyone cares I took an 18" Pittsburg adjustable wrench from harbor freight I had laying around and ground down the tips until they fit the narrow space. The hammer trick worked like a charm. (I really didn't want to drive to a store)

This is completely Legit!!!! It truly works!!!!!! Thank you so much for posting this. I was working on a Land Rover (4.4L) yesterday and I bent the special tool (looks like a BMW tool) that holds the pulley still. It was on there that tight. A pry bar or any of the tools that hold the pulley bolts still didn't work. I say pulley because on this Rover it isn't attached to the water pump but an idler pulley. I used this trick and it got it loosened in a few minutes. I have seen people drill these clutches off at the nut because there was no other way to get them loose. They get rusted and locked on. So I can't thank you enough. One of the best tips I have seen.

YES! That did it! I used my thin fan clutch wrench and a 5 lb sledge; having my wife use a big pry bar to put extra tension one the belt (it was slipping) and 15 whacks later this 23 yr fan clutch was off. Now to change the leaking water pump, which USED to be SO EASY! 4 bolts and that part was off! BTW, I used a 1/2 extension breaker bar on the wrench (in the provided hole), keeping my hands clear from the sledge. Even with gloves, that would hurt!
