Ive been having over heating problems and have decided to replace the fan clutch but Ive never done it before. First off how difficult is it on a third gen? And how much are fan clutches for third gens?

 

pretty easy....i'm sure they are under $30 they are for trucks anyway

 

are you sure your 87 has one???

 

Yeah, I don't see a listing for one on a 5.7...there is a listing for 5.0 though.

 

My 85 305 TPI had an electric fan.

 

thats what I'm thinking, TPI had electric fans

 

i'm pretty sure 86 and up had electric...but he may be working on something else

 

O I'm sorry its for a friends 84 camaro should of said that my fault

 

ok


remove the 4 bolts or nuts holding the fan/clutch assm, to the waterpump(need to use a wrench), then lay the fan face down, and you will see the 4 bolts holding the clutch and fan together, remove them, they should seperate, if not, hold the fan blade off the surface, and tap on the clutch with a hammer
