How do you remove the fan and clutch from the water pump? My pump has gone bad on my 2002 yukon and I have bought a duralast gold replacement from autozone. I have everything taken apart and ready reassemble but I cannot get the mech fan off the old pump to transfer to the new pump. ANy help would be greatly appreciated.
thank you,

Try hitting clutch fan nut three times with bar and hammer and use adjustable wench to turn other wise you will need two tools can borrow from dealer of a parts shop one to wold water pump pully other to turn clutch nut.
The fan blade screws on the water pump assembly. It's threaded, I can't remember if it's right or left, but it would be the opposite way the fan turns. No hammers necessary. There is a tool but once you know it's threaded you can figure it out. To make the job 100% easier take the 4 push pins out of the fan shroud and remove the top half, you'll have all kids of room and take the time to cut a piece of cardboard to protect your radiator.
