Fan clutch

Hey guys,

can anyone tell me how many bolts would be on the viscous fan coupling for my car? 3 or 4?

I don't have it with me at the moment.

Thanks very much

There is one 32mm (REVERSE THREADED, SO CLOCKWISE TO LOOSEN) bolt to remove the fan clutch off of the waterpump..

4 10mm bolts / allen head bolts (I have come across different types before) if you wanted to remove the fan from the fan clutch.

Thanks FrantiC. I did mean to detatch the clucth from the fan thanks.

There was a company (dmclutches I think??) selling them NEW on trademe for $125 incl shipping which is a lot cheaper than at the dealer. I can't find the listing on trademe anymore though.

They said there was a 3 or 4 bolt model

Cheers

As far as I have seen they were all the same, Pre FL or FL. Why not just get a second hand one ? I can do you a good one for $20 + shipping..
