I was just wondering how to remove the fan clutch and seeing if it was right/left handed thread.

I am attaching the entire process below but here is a guide that will give a little more detail on how to remove these fan clutches:

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/fan-clutch-removal

The manual does not have a lot of detail so please review the guide above. However, below you will find the info from the manual that will show where to put a 3/8 ratchet and holding tool to hold fan in place while you are removing the nut.

This is not a reverse thread nut so it will come off the normal way (left hand twist).

Please run through this info and let us know what questions you have on this.

Thanks
