Changing Water pump on a 97 Dodge Dakota w/v-8. How do I get the fan and clutch seperated from the pump?

I%26#039;ve taken the pump off. The three hoses are removed. I have the impeller, the front of the pump, the drive pulley, a large bronze nut, the fan and the clutch. Does the replacement pump come with a fan and clutch on it? How do I seperate the two?|||No you must take the fan clutch and fan off, that%26#039;s not easy sometimes, usually the fan and clutch are pulled off using a pulling tool before you remove the pump, take it to a machine shop or Auto zone may help pull it. good luck|||the fan screwes onto the water pump get a wrench that fits and screw it off(left hand thread)also you will probly need to hit the wrench to break it loose.|||The fan clutch (and the fan bolted to it) threads onto the water pump. You can rent a fan clutch service tool at any parts store that rents or loans automotive service tools.|||ITS A TWO PART WRENCH SYSTEM USED TO REMOVE IT AND IT COUNTA CLOCK WISE BORROW IT FROM AUTO ZONE IT WILL BE A DEPOSIT FOR IT BECAUSE YOU DON%26#039;T WANT TO BUY IT BECAUSE YOU WON%26#039;T USE IT FOR THE LIFE OF THAT CAR GOOD LUCK....|||the pump is sold by its self.


should be 4 bolts on the fan to remove
