Default Removing Mechanical Fan?
Is there an easy way to remove the old mechanical fan and clutch from my donor LM7? I tried searching and found one thread with not much information in it.

I used a good strap wrench on the pulley and sprayed Aero-Kroil on the threads then used a big as wrench! Came right off!

If you have an air chisle, just hit it on the edge for about a second and it will come loose.

No, don't hit the clutch! Hit the edge of the hex shaped threaded on part. Counter clockwise looking at the fan from the front of the engine.
