Fan clutch NIGHTMARE

[Apager]

Morning all and merry Christmas eve…

I am writing seeking advice on the removal of my fan clutch off my 2009 4th gen hemi. I cannot get it off to save my LIFE. From what I see one the internet it spins off clockwise on years prior to 2012. I have done these in the past but NEVER this hard. I have gone through several sets of bolts in the pulley holder.

I have hit it with pb blast and I have a cheater bar on my adjustable but keep breaking bolts on the pulley holder.

ANY HELP would be VERY appreciated!!

From what I understand the 09-18 and 19-22 classic all use the same water pump and fan clutch which is reverse threaded. However I see that you're in Maine so I'm sure its corroded on there pretty good. You most likely will need an air hammer with a chisel bit to shock it loose. If you don't have an air hammer you may have to have someone hold the pulley and hammer the breaker bar. Just remember its lefty tighty, righty loosy on these fan clutches.

I put my closer together to start. Then pushed towards each other instead of pulling. My spanned setup. Sorry don’t have any action shots.
