Clutch fan stuck - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

To start off, 1992 ka24de.
Went to do my water pump tonight and I'm having difficulty removing the clutch fan. It seems to be seized to the pulley and I don't have a good idea for removing it as of yet. Has anyone encountered this problem and had an easy solution? It would be a great help, thanks.

After you remove the four 8mm nuts, just tap slightly with a rubber mallet, make sure you unscrew the fan off of it first, it should have six screws

spray it with wd40 or pb blaster and let it soak for a few minutes. also, removing the radiator would give you more room to tap it with a hammer and prevent damage to the radiator.

There's plenty of room to wack it, but I don't want to break this water pump, just in case, and its 4 10mm nuts, that is all that holds it on. Ill soak it with some pb tonight if I can get around to it. Any more ideas would be appreciated, thanks
