Lisle 43300 Pneumatic Fan Clutch Wrench

sometimes the right tool can make a "scary" job easy. sure- you can tap the fan with a hammer (breaking the water pump in the process) , you can use screws and what not - but this simple tool made swapping my 2006 liberty fan clutch a 10 minute job.

Perfect fit. I trust the brand 100% just iffy on "fits most" tools. Used this tool along with an 18" adjustable to get the clutch fan off. Took a whole 2 seconds.

Still have and use them over the last 7 yrs. Soo far holding up for being abused

I asked the question above about a very stuck fan clutch. To be honest I was hesitant about buying this tool, for one I am not a mechanic who would use this tool regularly. Secondly, although you will not find this for less money than if purchased from Amazon unless you buy it used it is expensive and a single use tool meaning it is used to remove fan clutches and that is it.However this is the only way to go! My fan clutch was stuck, I tried every trick in the book including heating up the nut and pounding on a regular fan clutch wrench with a 3 lb hammer. When the UPS driver dropped it off I was like a kid at Christmas, I ripped it open and slapped it on my short stroke air hammer. To my dismay it didn't work. Heated up the nut, nothing. I kept at for several minutes hoping but nothing.After I quit swearing I realized that I needed a medium or long stroke hammer, those small short stroke hammers would work with this tool on the normal fan clutch but this baby was stuck like nothing I've ever ran across. So I went out and purchased a new air hammer from the big orange store which indecently is going back, not because I am in the habit of purchasing tools, using them and then taking back but because their website listed this hammer as long stroke and it is not, plastered across the booklet it says it is medium stroke. If I wanted a medium I would have bought the  Ingersoll Rand Air Hammer 114GQC  which is available locally, but it is less here on Amazon so I will purchase it from here since I don't need it immediately now. The big orange model is partially made of plastic and falsely advertised, the Ingersoll model is all metal exterior and has a quick release for the chisels.(EDIT - the big orange box store air hammer is not plastic in any way that effects the quality of the tool that I can honestly see, it has a rubber'ish' coating on the handle and underside of the barrel. I mistakenly said it was plastic, that is not true. I may end up just keeping it, it did work in the end, still have time on the return policy.)In any event I hit the nut with a little heat and then the Lisle and after about 10 seconds I saw movement, kept it going and voila it was loose.I've seen the websites of people bragging this tool up and let me tell you they are not lying, this tool works as advertised. I've been buying more tools and auto parts lately and always do at least a cursory search for prices, I've found that Amazon is at least competitive for most tools and auto parts (if they carry it) and usually less. I bought Gates hoses for my Jeep from Amazon and saved about $40.For the  Lisle LI43300 Pneumatic Fan Clutch Wrench  Amazon has the best price period. I saw this listed for as much as $200, if you can find it locally (I couldn't) I'd imagine that you'd pay close to that.It's made in the USA, I saw a video on youtube that there is a model similar to this one that isn't made here, it didn't come with all the wrenches this one does and the guy wasn't as happy with is as the Lisle, which apparently he had used in the past.If your thinking about it you probably need it and if you can afford it you won't be sorry but check and make sure the size wrench you need is listed, I saw one reviewer gave it low marks because it didn't come with the size he needed.

It get's the job done. High value for the price. Literally just a little rough around the edges, but it came with a rubber piece for your hand. If you had to use it every day you can easily chamfer the edges with a grinder. It was exactly what I needed.

the 47mm wrench part of this kit is great , the pulley holder DOESNT FIT , i have a 1999 p30 6.5v8 diesel engine , i had to entensively modify the tool to make it work , BEWARE IF YOU NEED THE PULLEY WRENCH THE KIT IS FROM LISLE

I needed to change the water pump on my 2007 Ram with 5.7 Hemi and didn't want to buy a tool I would only use once. After spending 2 hours trying to get the fan blade off I gladly ordered this tool. It fit exactly and I had the fan blade off in like a minute so it's worth the money for time savings and lower frustrations. You won't regret this purchase.

It does fit on the pulley to lock it in place to take off the clutch fan

Makes doing fan clutches easy!

Works great!

made short work of fan removal

Used it for removing the fan clutch from an 01 duramax. Clutch came off in seconds. It also tightened the clutch in seconds. Great kit.

Simple yet very effective method to remove the fan clutch.
