Fan Clutch bolt

[happeetxn]

Howdy all,
I just need to double check something here. When REMOVING the fan clutch bolt I should turn the bolt to my RIGHT (CLOCKWISE) to REMOVE it? I DON'T follow the "Lefty loosy / righty tighty" deal? I don't want to screw something up.
Thanks,
Craig
Edited update: Fan shroud has a sticker that reads "Right hand thread on fan clutch" also what does IIRC mean?

My 97 psd has a normal lefty loosey, righty tighty threads IIRC, did mine about a year ago and I almost positive it has right hand threads on it unless the (% is different.

Well, it is a righty tighty / lefty Loosy deal. All I can say is "You gotta love a breaker (cheater) bar"!!!!
Now for those of you out there who have removed your fans did you put your fan shroud back on or leave it off?
Thanks,
Craig

Thats what I thought, I put my shroud back on but I still am scouting around for a set of electric fans to put on. Just gotta find the time to go and rummage around the wreck yard for a set.

If I Recall .. I think

I put my shroud back on when I changed my water pump but I also put the fan back on. if I removed the fan (I am thinking about it) I would probably leave the shroud off so that it would be a quick fan install if you needed it.
