Big nut is reverse thread but the allen bolts are standard lefty loosy righty tighty. Anyways, you may now need a new fan clutch. Sorry man.

might just be some fins on that fan clutch...could still be ok, but idk. i dont understand why those 4 allens won't come out, since they're not very big bolts. i would think with a little penetrating oil you could get them. is the problem not being able to keep the fan from spinning while turning them?

yea thats what it sounds like. fins. theyre not very thick peices and broke pretty easily. I can keep the fan still but these allens will not move. i guess i have to keep messing with them or something. i hope i dont need a new fan clutch. = X
