Replacing the fan clutch on my Land Rover lr3 was a challenging job. The fan clutch didn’t want to come off. On my Lr3 the fan clutch felt like it welded on. I had to really come up with a solution on how to remove it. I changed the Fan Clutch and Serpentine Belt on my Land Rover Discovery 3. I had to use a variety of fan clutch removal tools. You will need a 36mm wrench and a fan clutch pulley holder.

My last comment on bumping engine won't work because i believe engine runs same direction as you loosen fan clutch but on American engine that method will work
If you did know there is a much easier way to remove fan clutch without any damage place your fan clutch on a hard surface on frame as other end is on fan clutch get in car bump engine over slightly BUT DO NOT CRANK ENGINE IMPORTANT SET this will loosen nut works every time old mechanic trick
I'm presently dealing with replacementing my radiator. I've got the radiator Completely loosened and have been struggling for hours trying to remove the FAN CLUTCH. IT FEELS AS IF ITS WELDED ON.
Stupid Fan?
Looks like you should have used a pneumatic with an air chisel and it probably would have walked it right off. Sometimes you have to be smarter than the stupid engineer that designed it.
Hi, I have a problem with my Land Rover LR3 2005. I changed the radiator, thermostat and water pump. I thought it was done but when I started it and I pushed the gas the temperature was increasing until over heating if I don't push the gas it is going down the temperature again so How Do I know if the fan clutch is bad? Does The fan clutch have two speed?
Hahaha this dude it's an completely idiot
Eu estava sem dever como resolver isso nesse Rover, você resolveu o meu problema, parabéns.
Don´t tighten the screw nut so strong! Thx for the good Video.
This is an excellent video — thank you very much! The thread of the fan "nut" (for lack of a better term) was DIFFERENT on my truck so I thought I would add that detail.
I removed my fan from a 2006 Range Rover L322 Supercharged (4.2 Jaguar engine) just a few hours ago. The fan “nut” has a conventional, right-hand thread, and loosened counter-clockwise (that is, “lefty loosey”) when at the front of the truck facing the rear (the only way you can position yourself to actually work on the fan).
Your fan "nut" was the opposite (which is what I tried initially). Obviously, YMMV and JLR may have changed the threads from year to year and model to model and S/C may be different from NA, but “lefty loosey” worked for me!
