Just being long winded for the guys like myself that have read about using air to release a stuck fan clutch, have no clue on how, but want to know how I was thinking the same, and that it wold eventually pop free. Initially I did like you said, built the air all the way up, 120+, and give her a few whacks with that brass hammer and manually turned the fan with my hand while whacking away, I got nothing. I was starting to panic, that this thing was not going to break loose, heck, it's only a year old. I called the manufacturer and he told me to try a direct air line and whack it, it worked, took all of a minute after hooking up the compressor. No clue what difference the shop compressor made, other than the pressure may have been greater than what the truck was actually sending to the clutch as I was bypassing the solenoid. Or, the solenoid was not active for some reason with the just the key on and not having the motor actually running. I'm thinking that may have been the issue as I believe the Cab Controller operates the engine fan as it is tied into the AC system. ? And that compressor just went on my list... ;-) | |||
