newbie here but not to car forums. Been doling out endless cash to bring my 200K 2007 excursion ready. That includes the infamous fan clutch. I consider myself competent around an engine compartment. First time at this particular bandit. Most importantly as a warning to anyone trying this job, be prepared for the dealer efforts in this area before. i have read the endless posts on this very topic. Useless every post. Doubtless the dealer stripped a nut head or two out of the four probably while replacing the water pump. I know my dealer did. I tried and got 3 out of 4 out. Its the final one that refuses. The nuts are made of garbage metal and strip with the best of tools and patient effort. Forget this job. Let the dealer suffer their handy work. Wish i had.
