Don't know if the fan mounts the same as my '95 ( maxcool ) but I picked up
a fan clutch tool at NAPA to hold the pully still while I removed the fan.
It came with a tool for that 34mm(?) big fan nut and a tool to grab the
bolt heads on the pully. That made the job a lot easier but costs a bit.
Now I hear that AutoZone rent specialty tools.
The new pump I put on had a pressed on pully so I had to fabricate a "pin"
wrench to hold it still to tighten the fan nut.
I took a 1" x 2' steel bar threaded with small hardened bolts that just fit
in the holes in the pully - had to grind out an area to clear the big nut.
If you got lots of miles, change the fan clutch and bypass hose too.
I just pulled the radiator,lift up the AC and Alt mounts out of the way.
Not too hard. Get a FSM or Haynes book.
