Fan clutch question
Can I clean my fan clutch in a parts washer without damaging it?

Re: Fan clutch question
I think I would keep the solvent off the seal where the shaft comes into the clutch itself. Otherwise it is a sealed unit. I usually clean them by spraying some brake clean on the front spring. The bi-metallic spring is what engages the clutch, when that is dirty it doesn't work properly

Re: Fan clutch question
And it should be a lot of resistance. If you spin it, it should not make a full rotation.
