87 YJ - Water pump and fan

[kerrja68]

My fan and water pump took a dump on me yesterday. I am having problems diconnecting the fan from the pully that attaches to the water pump. I took off all 4 bolts and according to the manual it should just pop right off. I cant figure out what to do next. I know its a pretty vague question and problem but any help would be appreciated. HELP!!!

Just be carefull with the 4 bolts that are attatched to the water pump. If you did not purchase new ones, they usually do not come with a new pump and you will have to remove them, which can be tricky without damageing the threads.
