Trying to get the fan clutch to line up with the hub to remove, any ideas??

Nothing yet. I got rained out yesterday. I do know the hub costs $400, so I’ll cut out the old one if I have to (hope it doesn’t come to that) . I’m going in town to talk to who rebuilds they hubs in town and see what he says. The 42mm seems to big and the 41mm seems to small for the spindle nut. So maybe it’s a size inbetween or the walls of my 3/4 sockets are to big and it can t really grab it.
I did buy this extraction kit socket for when I do get the pulley part off

 

Got that spindle nut off! It’s a 1” 5/8 on this keysor set up. Had to use a long bendable 1/2 drive with a 3/4 extension, and pull just at the right angle or it would slip off.

But for some reason the hub is not coming off the spindle still. The bearings have been falling out since I’ve been hitting it with a hammer, chisel, and pry bar. Any ideas?

 

Quick update. Got that hub off! I used a pry bar to get it over where the bearing was seated. Kept bangin, still wouldn’t come off. I got above it with my winch bar that has a slight angle in it, like vertically above instead of prying from the side like was, then boop, it jumped right over.

now that I know what the spindle looks like, it makes much more since. Oh and that Irwin extraction kit worked like a charm. Tapped it on, and a slight pull with a 1/2” ratchet got it loose. Now time to put it back together. THANKS for sticking with me on this one, you know that morale helps.

(thanks to everyone else too!)

 

Yes indeed. Cool thing is the new one has a spindle, bracket and even a air fitting.

would you use blue locktite or anti seize?

 

my spindle is probably toast anyways, and I beat down the grooves on the hub. The new hub was $390, so I got that and a new idler pulley too
