[QUOTE="David Schmidt, post: 982927, member: 57602"] ok...asked Autozone about the fan clutch - they actually have a kit to remove the fan clutch for Fords that closely matches the factory tools. Not a big deal after all. $163 for new radiator. Fit like a glove. $25 to get the two tools in a "kit" - have 30 days to return and get full $25 back. The larger wrench goes over the "nuts" of the pulley to hold it still and the smaller wrench goes over the large fan nut. This prevents the seals / shaft on water pump from getting messed up. It broke free super easy and unscrewed right away. Only problem I'm having now is water isn't flowing right. Top hose not hot and heater is not blowing warm air. But no leaks and runs good. Have it cooling down right now so I can check level of coolant in radiator. I probably got about 6-7 quarts into it but systems holds 14 quarts. Radiator was full though. Took a little bit for temp. gauge to move but it did move to normal position halfway up. So temp. gauge working but no heat. [/QUOTE]
