Instructions to install 8001X (front
air fan clutch)
Removal of old clutch
Remove clutch to be replaced. There
are 6 bolts that secure the clutch to the hub (pulley). These
are Allen head bolts. Use a 5/16” Allen wrench to remove.
There are 6 access holes in the front of the clutch that allow
you to access and remove the Allen bolts. If the access holes
are not aligned with the Allen bolts, you can apply air to the
clutch to disengage it. Then rotate the hosing until the access
holes line up with the Allen bolts for removal.
Once the clutch is removed from the
hub (pulley), inspect the pulley to be sure there isn’t
“play”. Any “play” indicates worn bearings
in the pulley. If you find “play”, rebuild the pulley
with the proper bearing kit. (If you do not repair the hub, the
new clutch will prematurely fail).
Removal of old clutch
You will need to line up the mounting
holes on the replacement 8001x with the holes on the pulley.
Torque the 6 Allen head bolts to
45 lbs.-ft. (clutch to pulley)
