Well... replaced water pump but... no longer have a fan on the truck
So I installed a new water pump, hopefully correcting the crazy leaks i keep getting. Now here's the problem. I tried to remove the clutch fan while the old pump was still on the truck. Tried using a super tight cargo belt to keep the pulley from rotating, that was a complete joke. Then I proceeded to use a clutch fan removal kit but it required bolts on the pulley to get a grip. Now, the only bolts i could bolt on to that pulley through those small holes were too small and kept breaking. I tried blocking the pulley with a coat hanger through the holes, but no luck either.
The new pump is now installed, and my old pump is in the basement with the clutch fan still attached. I'm not too concerned for now because it's winter here and a fan shouldn't be necessary for the next couple of months.
Any suggestions on how to remove these things? Or am i pretty screwed and should get a new one?
