Good video guy's . Not sure why you took the belt off though unless you put a new belt on . This can be done with the belt on. Looking forward to your next video . Take care and be safe my friend and the same to Tyler .

Thanks for watching! You are correct, you can keep the belt on as it will keep tension on the pulley when the 4 bolts are off but, we wanted to show the process of pulling the belt off and how to tension it as well. Really appreciate you watching! Guess which video is next?

That is an excellent description and video of how to remove and install a new fan clutch Thank you gentlemen

[@jeremykopp9859]

Thank you very much for watching!

[@King-Zeekhiel]

I saw a video of ppl saying you want the fan to spin when you replace it and that an old one if you try to spin it with your hand it won’t spin. I have an old one I’ve been wanting to replace because it makes noise, advice??

[@tactfulredneck3937]

Good thing I don't have to worry about taking the fan off cause it flew off and stuck in the radiator

[@jeremykopp9859]

Holy crap man! Good catch by the radiator! Lol... hope it all works out with the repairs.

Is it a known problem with jeeps running hot

What’s the part# of the fam clutch?

[@amyrinearson6847]

Do you have to replace the fan when you replace the clutch too?

[@jeremykopp9859]

No. In most cases, you only need to replace the fan clutch. It would be wise to check over the fan and make sure each blade is sound and in its proper form. Typically, the fan is unobstructed from most debris and doesn’t get damaged.

Good context. Can I pick your brain? I gave a98 Xj and it has new t stat radiator water pump hoses and still overheats with ac only

New electric fan

[@efrendesantiago5605]

@@91xj89 ended being the head gasket. Went to local auto parts and the kid who helped me out ended up buying it. Sad to it go but oh well to the next project

[@VC-TV]

He seemed to know alot about that clutch but not enough to know that the belt doesn’t need to come off and taking the fan shroud off is the easiest way to get the fan out, otherwise you risk dinging the radiator trying to wiggle it out another way

[@Glory_inthe_3rd77]

I'm here to tell you that fan shroud will not just come off of there unless it's completely different from the 95 model you will not get that surround cover off of there without damaging something unless you take that fan off I put my life on it you will been something in the process I guarantee you it's stuck poking out under that fan

[@carlt8188]

1. There is no need to take off the belt.
2. 8:58 it is absolutely necessary and vital to put that fan on the same way you took it off. Putting it on backwards reduces the efficiency of the fan which is why you replaced the old one in the first place.
Sorry man you really should trash this video. Someone will potentially do the job the wrong and hard way if they listen to and follow your directions.

[@danhambrick6331]

Should of used the ZJ fan clutch....

[@jeremykopp9859]

Nah... they are too loud and restrict space. I like a roaring tough sound when accelerating without sounding like a jet from a bigger, heavier duty fan. I appreciate you watching though and thank you for the comment.
