[6pack] Alternator fan nut

[Foster, Stan (HP IT)]

Bob, it does undo as normal by turning counter clockwise and the easiest way
to get it on and off is with an impact wrench. If you don't have the required
tools (compressor + wrench + impact socket) perhaps a buddy or neighbor has
one or take it to a local shop. It will take 10 seconds to loosen it.

Subject: [6pack] Alternator fan nut

Hello,

I am trying to remove the pulley/fan from my 72 Alernator. It is a Delco/Remy
version.

The nut is a 15/16 around what looks like to be a 5/16 allen screw.

I put the pulley in a vice and the nut turns but does not loosen.

I then attached a 5/16 allen socket to the allen screw put that in a vice and
tried to turn the 15/16 nut with a very large box wrench and BFH.

The 15/16 nut does not move! I am afraid of breaking the allen socket if I get
a bigger hammer.

I am trying to turn the nut counter - clockwise. Is that correct?

Any other methods to remove that nut, bolt so the pulley / fan can be
removed?

Thanks,

Bob
