    Default Clutch Fan Coupling

    Any Ideas on how much a replacement Clutch Fan Coupling would set you back as new from one of the major part stores, or a second hand from a wreckers?

    Wondered what the noise was comming from under the hood, sounded like someone put some dice inside the rocker cover and it was rolling around, was the vibartion from the Clutch Fan Coupling going through the whole motor

    Any ideas on price?

    shop around theres a big range, I wouldnt bother with used ones
    be sure to ask for all discounts
    it helps to have small fingers for the bolts which are fiddly, ellerys manual says toi locktite the bolts
    when failing, they sometimes leak silicone but not always

    Managed to pick up whole unit, the coupling and fan for $100 from Burons, now comees the fun part of pulling the other one off and putting this one on, its got an extra blade, i figure will work less, with one more blade distributing the work a little more.

    What do you do if you dont have small fingers,cause im totally ****ed if thats the case

    What a prick of a job, had a bit of a hard time, you really do need small hands, only prob is it still making this dice, vibration noise from around the same area, theres no give in the fan anymore so thats good, but im wondering if this woudl have affected the water pump?

    Any ideas on what else could be causing this most annoying noise, its never been there ever before?
