Fan& oil cluch

D idn't find anything on the sticky---- so i just got to it. Drained the rad. down past the therm.,pulled the top rad., hose ,removed the oil filler spout. Then i loosened the 4 bolts holding the fan to cluch ,left one finger thight removed the other 3. I had to borrow a 1&7/16in. open wrench. By leaving 1 bolt in the cluch( to hold the fan up),that left me plenty of room to use the wrench,hit it to the right w/ a 4lb hammer sharply , that broke the cluch nut loose . Here i took the last bolt out of the fan ,let hang on the back of the cluch while i slowly turned the cluch off, then slowly eased the cluch out then the fan. Just done the whole prosses in reverse, whacked the cluch nut to left(4lb), filled up the rad., . Took me ( i'm realy slow)40-45 min. Right or wrong--- it worked. New 91.5 d250.

I've put some anti-seize compound on the threads of my mess. Sure does make it easier to remove later.
