Learn how to change the fan clutch on your Mazda B3000 and Ford Ranger pickup trucks. The fan clutch replacement process will also work for almost any other car out there that has a fan clutch and not an electric fan.
What the fan clutch does is regulate the speed of the fan so that the engine can warm up fast, yet stay cool when its at operating temps (like how a thermostat regulates temp). When the fan clutch goes bad, it can lock up and spin at full speed depending on the engine rpm. The problem is that at high rpms your belt can break, the fan can break, and you engine makes a lot of noise.
This video will teach you how to change the fan clutch ($30) and save at least $150.

Can i upgrade a five blade fan to a 9 blade fan on my 2000 dodge durango?
Would this also work for a chevy trailblazer 2007?
Thank you Chris
You’re videos are honestly so detailed. I just got a 1999 ford ranger that needs a lot of work and I’ve been struggling to figure out how to remove the fan clutch. No other video explains it this well.
Tyvm. I wound up using a big pipe wrench around the water pump flange.
I would do both for you.
You can tell this guy is an amateur for not replacing the blinker fluid wile he was at it
Hy greyson here from Zambia always enjoys watching you inspirational videos always lean new things keep it up bro
Awesome video, man! Probably need to replace fan clutch in my car and this video is really helpful. You should do a video on replacing the oil pan gasket (if you have the need to haha). How are you posting all these videos? I can barely keep up with my own channel. 🙃
On my 03 you don't pull the idler to the right, there's a belt tensioner down below. You pull the tensioner to the right. For me it was a 16mm socket.
you can also simply use a long breaker bar with a socket to hold the pully. might be a good idea to stack washers or use a spacer in-between the screw and clutch spindle so you don't put too much tension on the screw while you're unscrewing the clutch in the opposite direction.
I miss the "OH yeah. Look at that. She is so good now. Yes!!!" (Clearly an old video 🤣)
