im changing the water pump on my f150 v6 and I have no idea what the hell I'm doing, Ive taken the radiator out (not sure if i even needed to) and taken the bolts off the fan but the fan is still on. can someone tell me what else I need to do before my motor falls to the ground. I see a large bolt right behind the fan but i have nothing to take it off with, any ideas what size it could be.
thanks

 

im pretty sure it has a clutch fan you get a wrench on the water pump bolt and then a larger aj. wrech on the fan shaft and the fan shaft is normal threads *big wrench goes left* when i had to do because mine was on there is i got a long punch and a hammer and hit it left and it un threded. if you have an AIR hammer itd work but try the wrench things frist *didnt work for me*

 

Call your pal who knows how to fix cars, Buy lots of beer and let him do it! just kidding. Do you have the Haynes/Chiltons book? you need to have one of those before you even start. Sometimes you need to yank the fan off. They can get kinda seized on there..

 

yeah i know how they get seized on there i was trying for 4 hours with the wrench way and didnt work the hammer and punch worked for me. *air hammer would have been faster* keep up us updated antman will help ya.

 

thanks guys for your help, I had taken the fan bolts out and the round thing right behind it. After I got something to eat and dropping this line I went back out for more, I took the whole unit off (water pump, fan, and what ever else attached) and took it to advance autos to let them take it off. After a 15-20 minute conversation with them (at least 3 people tried to take the fan off) they rented me some wrenches. So I had to come back home put the fan bolts and the other things bolts back in and then I was able to take them apart. After taking it apart and putting it back together and then back apart, I got the new water pump on and called it a night. Now I can't remember how the belt wrapped around everything so that will be my first challenge in the morning.

But again guys thanks and I think now it's beer thirty.

 

there should be a diagram of the belt routing on top of the radiator cover

 

I don't have the orginal cover on my radiator. I can't believe I can't find a diagram anywere on the net, if anyone knows of a place that shows it please leave it here.
thanks

I think I can do better , just a minute - Nope best I can do , but I know there's a drawing on that site , user Steve83 has one.

If you go to motocraft . com you can download a manual. Or if you join ALLData , you can get a service manual. Or just buy a book from any 3rd party auto supplier for that info . Haynes or Chiltons books are usually on the rack at the auto part suppliers - $19 for a service guide . $10 for a CD off ebay..
