Fan removal tool

[Mike L.]

My tool of choice its and air chisel. All you gotta do it bust it loose and it comes right off!

Look what the cat dragged in. You still alive?

A 15" Crescent wrench with a swift whack from a hammer has always worked for me.

 

[whitetrash21]

This. Tried the tension strap and crescent... wouldn't hold it tight enough to break the nut loose. Took about 30 secs with this ..... $60 for one time use though.

 

[SIKDMAX]

Wes that thing hooks up in the front of the fan to hold it then you can bust the nut off?

 

[SIKDMAX]

Here?

No the tool goes into holes on the front of the pully, put the groove of the tool around the nut, tabs towards the pully, then use a wrench on the nutand the tool to hold the pully to remove the fan!!

 

[SIKDMAX]

Gotcha.... didnt make sense it would go on front LOL but I looked quick and didnt see any holes. Guess I should have got the drop light

 

[s3gulit]

took a peg board hook, bent another end, slid it into the pull, took a prybar and wedge it between the pulleys and had to give the nut a little bit of heat to come loose but it was simple and all i use was about 15cents of gas on the little torch and a 25cent pegboard hook.

I just used a hammer and sharp chisel. Couple of taps and it spun right off..

I just tried that yesterday. 12" long 5/8" cold chisel from Home Depot for $6 and a three pound hammer. Worked great!

Big Hammer, Big Wrench!!!

 

[SDP]

I just used a big crescent wrench and a small 12" adjustable spanner and it broke it loose, first time its come off at 100k.

 

[Vrabel]

The mac one (Thin wrench + air hammer)

 

[WTF]

i just use a 4lb hammer and a punch 2 little taps and your good

 

[Blueox03]

Guys, really...why beat the hell out of it when you can just borrow one from a parts store... IIRC Steve Cole has a nice fan wrench....

 

[Turbotug]

You are not beating the hell out of it. Not even close.

Seriously, it was a couple easy pops and it was loose. You only have to move it like 1/20 of a turn before you can spin it off by hand.
