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

After searching on here, didn’t see anything, so I’m posting.

I’m trying to get the fan clutch holes to line up with the hub so I can take the clutch off, and the hub. I need to rebuild the hub, and my clutch I think went out too maybe. The night before the bearing sleeve/ bearing failed my fan was running non stop. Dropped the load and got back home.

by myself it’s been tricky to hold the hub while prying the clutch over to get the holes to line up. I’ve been hooking up all sorts of macgyver’isms, nothing yet. I got a portable air compressor, so tomorrow I was going to see about getting a shop air attachment and shooting air into the hub, because maybe my clutch actually wasn’t dead and it’s just my solenoid. That way I can free it, to get it to turn.

any other ideas to get the two to line up so I can continue the job?

 

That’s what I tried too. There’s four bolts holding the hub back. But! The bolts are too long to remove without taking the pulley/hub off. I only undid one bolt and it wouldn’t come all the way into my hand, but what if I undid all four, would the threads be backed back enough to pull the whole assembly?

prior to this post, I was trying to take the clutch off the hub, so I can take the hub off. The clutch is of course bolted to the hub, but the holes aren’t lined up because of where it’s locked in position. So I can’t get my socket wrench through the clutch holes to reach the bolt heads that holds the clutch to hub

 

filter band wrench, ok. Yea I did try using a 2” ratchet strap with some rubber underneath it, but it would still spin. It gripped it good, but still would spin just enough to not let the clutch change position

 

Ok ten four. My little air compressor probably puts out 120 tops. Not enough?
