Im changing the water pump on my 2001 dodge ram truck and I can't loosen and take out the old water pump clutch bolt that is attached to the fan. How can I un-tighten it.help?? :confused:

The fan clutch on the Dodge ram has left handed threads on it. Try turning the nut on the clutch clockwise and it should come off. Note, these can be on pretty tight. The purpose of the left handed treads is to prevent the nut from coming loose when the fan is turning.
