Does yours have the one that takes the special removal tool and has reverse threads ? Not sure about yours, but some of them do.

That might work OK. Clutch fan removal tool set is not very expensive though. The one I bought was 15 or 20 dollars. Most parts supply stores.

Not sure how to post reply, but thanks for responses. A friend shaved down his fan clutch tool to fit. Ended up between 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" with right hand threads. Thanks again
