Did this solve your problem? What steps did you go through to get the fan clutch assembly out? Did you have to take the upper coolant hose off? Fan shroud? Is it possible to take fan off the clutch, leave the fan in that area, pull the clutch off of the pulley assembly and then replace in...
Hmmm. Interesting. However, my 2003 only has 85,000 miles on it so I’m pretty sure they are original. Might be a matter of a switch half way through the 2003 model year.
