Clutch Fan Removal

I have a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 5.2 L V8. I have been having
heating problems from the beginning. I so far have replaced the radiator
with a 3 core aftermarket. I have replaced the Fan clutch and the water pump
and still in stop and go traffic the vehicle keeps getting hotter and
hotter. I have decided to go with an aftermarket Electric fan for constant
air flow. The trouble I am having is getting the clutch fan back off of the
vehicle. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Paul

Pull the radiator first, so's you don't hole the durn thing (who? me?
yeah.) and get some liquid wrench/wd/oil onto it. It'll come.

Your query just reminded me of a particularly bad day with
a beautiful antique in the middle of nowhere, in a country
where I really didn't speak the language all that well.

Luck

Well, you did the job once. What's the problem this time? It's
usually only 4 bolts that hold the whole thing on. Did you use Loctite
on them?
The other thing that comes to mind, is what is the real reason that
it runs hot? Before I spent another dollar guessing on parts, I'd
actually look around and find the problem. Overheating can be caused by
a multitude of problems - timing, mixture, flow obstruction, blown head
gasket, etc. Check and make sure the lower radiatoer hose hasn't lost
it's spring.
