Fan Clutch Help?

If it dont not wooble and the bearing in it ar good, you might just tweak it as it is mormal for the bimetal coil that controls them to age and when it does it raises the engagement temp and can make it seem inoperative. The silicone in them does not wear out and if the bearing are tight and it is not leaking, all you need to do is tweak it. (see below)

use a 36 mm fan wrench and a rubber mallet. a few good whacks and it should come right off.

You need to hold the pump pulley still while doing this too.

Try a a heavy strap wrench wrapped around pully.

Did you leave the serpentine belt on? That's usually enough. Also, I saw you make a mention of left-hand threads. You don't say what engine you have, but unless you have a diesel, the threads are RIGHT-HAND.

Buy or rent a HD Strap Wrench to hold pully in place. (it cams a heavy belt tight around pully with a attached handle to hold pully in place.) I would not bet the farm on the serpentine bely holding it.
