Yes reverse. If you need to crack it free you can give the side of the nut a smack w an air hammer in a rotating motion then just use the wrench to loosen it. Or if you want to spend the money I bought an air hammer fan clutch wrench set that works amazing every single time

electric fan conversion is all complete, and I can say getting that clutch off was a *****. if it wasnt for spending 2hrs getting that nut loose, the whole install would prob take under 1 hour. Also installed a 180f tstat. I tested the TYC fan on all stock settings and with no AC on, the fan kicked in @ around 220f, with AC on, it kicked in around 185-190f. fan moves ALOT OF AIR! Got everything all tidy up and usps showed up with my diable tuner... installed the tune to kick fans on @ 202f and throttle @ 10% increase, and disabled MDS system, plus whatever the 89octane tune does.... Truck seems to be running GREAT, and will keep an eye on the coolant level over then next week to make sure im not dripping any and no air bubbles. Really appreciate all the feedback on this forum.

Set the fan to come on at 196'ish and off at 190,that'll keep it from running constantly,and will help bring your temps down closer to the 185 operating temp of your thermostat.

ok, ill try that tomorro while at work. Cant lie, the diablo i3 tuner is kinda a PITA to work with. Calling tech support is a joke as the dude said I cant set fan temp on/off with it, but that ended up being BS as I found it. Thank god MDS is off tho, that **** is annoying
