Changing Water pump on a 97 Dodge Dakota w/v-8. How do I get the fan and clutch seperated from the pump?

I've taken the pump off. The three hoses are removed. I have the impeller, the front of the pump, the drive pulley, a large bronze nut, the fan and the clutch. Does the replacement pump come with a fan and clutch on it? How do I seperate the two?

No you must take the fan clutch and fan off, that's not easy sometimes, usually the fan and clutch are pulled off using a pulling tool before you remove the pump, take it to a machine shop or Auto zone may help pull it. good luck

the fan screwes onto the water pump get a wrench that fits and screw it off(left hand thread)also you will probly need to hit the wrench to break it loose.
The fan clutch (and the fan bolted to it) threads onto the water pump. You can rent a fan clutch service tool at any parts store that rents or loans automotive service tools.
ITS A TWO PART WRENCH SYSTEM USED TO REMOVE IT AND IT COUNTA CLOCK WISE BORROW IT FROM AUTO ZONE IT WILL BE A DEPOSIT FOR IT BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO BUY IT BECAUSE YOU WON'T USE IT FOR THE LIFE OF THAT CAR GOOD LUCK....
the pump is sold by its self.

should be 4 bolts on the fan to remove
