I am trying to remove the cooling fan (6 blade) from the water pump on my '37. Is there some secret? After removing the 4 bolts, nothing; it appears to be pressed onto the water pump shaft. A gear puller was unsuccessful as I was afraid of bending the fan base. Any advice is welcomed.

The pulley does not come off with the fan. The fan has a 1" hole in the center and comes off the pulley hub once the four bolts are removed.
The fan can rust to the hub of the pulley.


See the USA in your vintage Chevrolet!

You may want to try a little heat to break the rust loose.

Thank you both. With a lot of penetrating oil, time and gently prying I got it off. Now I have to clean it up and repaint. Thanks again,

CAB
