How do I remove my fan/cluth properly??
I am removing the fan/clutch assembly from my 73 350 to paint it. What are the proper steps for removal? I have the fan-shround extension removed, and the 4 bolts holding the fan to the pulley are removed as well but it seems like it won't move.
Any advice?

Yeah, the hub of the fan is made of aluminum and sometimes it will gaul up on the shaft. Tab it lightly with a sofe hammer and it'll come off. It's been on there for a long time.

Tapping on it will get it loose, but watch it as you do this so it doesn't pop off and hit the radiator. Sometimes turning it over by hand a few times as you tap on it helps...
