Torquatrol fan clutch test
#21
#22
The clutch was a 20 min (max) job to remove. Leaving the fan down there made it easy, and that's OK to do, as I know it's new and good.
I did a flick test of the clutch with the axle clamped in a vice. It took 6 flicks to do a full revolution cold, but only 3 flicks warm (maybe 60-70°C, clearly below 100°C).
Flicktesting
Clutch is out. I found one of my 13mm sockets in the fan shrouding, great )

It is possible to do the entire fan+clutch assembly in one go all bolted together without tinkering with belts or any other items. I do NOT recommend it though as it requires a lot of dexterity and the sort of intuitive knowing-if-****-will-fit that some people don't have. Cardboard against the rad also helps but it does fit...atleast on 89+ yr US spec engines.
