Take a long screwdriver and block between two of the water pump pulley
bolts. Then take a large wrench (23mm range I think) and break the fan bolt
loose from the pump. Unbolt the fan shroud, and remove both the fan and
shroud simultaneous. Once removed, stand the fan against a wall; do not lay
it flat.

Subject: DML: Timing Belt AGAIN
I tried to get in there to check out the timing belt, but I can't get the
stupid fan off. How do you get the stupid fan clutch off the engine??
There's
this spring loaded thingamajic in the front, but doesn't look like any bolt
i've ever seen. I can't even get the fan shroud off because the fan is not
giving me enough clearance. How do I get this thing off!! Not even the
Haynes
manual I got is any help. I can replace head gaskets but not a timing
chain??
This is stupid!!
