If you have a better condition fan I would use it. Lot of corrosion on the pic fanOk so pump bearing is shot, damn ok...honestly had hoped it was the fan and studs cuz I have an extra fan

Be sure to clean rust off all the mating surface especially that pulley. You want everything to mate clean and flat. Some may disagree but I like to put a little rust preventer on the surface. Light wipe with oil or wd40. Some say will not get proper friction but rust no good either

Alright ya I will, im honestly just happy I dont have to mess w timing at all. Stupid po didnt even have the bottom bolts in on the shroud -__- i shouldn't be surprised w all the other bs i have found on this thing so far

Thanks, honestly it was stupid easy. I soaked the bolts waited 15 mins and used 1 wrench to srop it from moving while I broke each one free. I expected more issues
That is why I like doing my own work. I always find issues to correct that would have left me broke down in a few months if not addressed
Not sure on yours. But my shroud only has two top bolts. The bottom has two tabs that drop into slot on radiator

I hate it
ive spent so much time in 2.5 yrs of just fixing crap its ridiculous
The fan shroud has 2 12mm bolts on top and 2 fingers that fit into slots on the bottom of the radiator. No bottom bolts.

Tough to see, it looked like bolt holes but maybe not
Yes grease, oil and penetrant and dogs are a man’s best friend. Add impact wrench. Woman towards the bottom

Facts lmao woman def near bottom as mine wants to kill me cuz of the trouble this thing has caused me
Ditch the woman. Stay with fj80 and pick up a shelter dog pack up and head out. And if ya break down give us a shout
if you feel side to side movement on the WPump bearing by hand then its on the way out, it should not have any. Keep in mind that once the engine running and temps increase the movement will be more.
The fan clutch being tight is normal. It works on both centrifugal force and heat whereby internally the valve opens & shuts allowing viscous fluid to engage the clutch for cooling as needed. When the valve opens (hot temps) and fluid goes in the clutch it gets tight and when cool / cold it will close and free up. Having it out and flat on the ground like that the fluid will naturally move around making it feel tight
My last point is whilst you have those things out, hit it with degreaser and give it a good clean. There appears to be lots of caked on dirt & mud which is no good plus makes working on them alot better
