CLEANING AND INSPECTION
Thoroughly clean all components before inspection.
Check each of the following components, and follow the guidelines for reuse:
• Ball bearings - Replace at time of rebuild.
• Internal snap rings - Must not be damaged or worn. Must be flat and have square edges at outer diameter.
• External snap rings - Must not be damaged or worn. Must be flat and have square edges at inner diameter.
• Seal rings - Replace during rebuild.
• Oil seals - Replace during rebuild.
• Bolts and washers - Reuse unless damaged or worn.
• Retainer/Seal assemblies - Replace if damaged or worn.
• Wear sleeves - Replace during rebuild.
• Sleeve bearings - Inspect color of surface. Refer to Figure 7-14.

FIGURE 7-31. SHAFT ASSEMBLY WEAR DIMENSIONS

1. Check the shaft assembly for wear or damage. Refer to Figure 7-31 for dimensions.
NOTE: Some shafts were manufactured as two-piece assemblies. Do not attempt to separate the shaft assembly.

2. Inspect and clean the pitot tube holes in the shaft. Use a standard reamer (straight flute, 0.3770 in. diameter).
Remove pipe plugs in the shaft for cleaning and reinstall using Loctite® Primer N and #242.

(For earlier pistons with the drilled orifice.)

6. Check the piston for a drilled orifice at the inside


face. If the piston contains the orifice, modify
the piston as shown in Figure 7-35.
7. Inspect clutch hub (29) for wear. Wear marks
that may be present on the teeth must not
restrict plate movement. If they have smooth
entry and exit ramps, the notches will not
restrict plate movement and the clutch hub may
be reused.
8. Check steel plates (31) for wear. The plates
must be smooth and free of grooves or heat
related damage. The plates are 3.07 mm (0.121
in.) minimum thickness when new and must be
flat within 0.13 mm (0.005 in.).
9. Inspect facing plates (30). Minimum thickness
for new facing plates is 2.77 mm (0.109 in.).
Grooves are 0.15 mm (0.006 in.) deep. The
plates must be flat within 0.13 mm (0.005 in.).
Check the teeth for excessive wear. When new,
the space between the teeth is approximately
7.11 mm (0.280 in.).

installed in the bearing retainer, ensure the
opening is aligned with the dowel pin.

the shoulder of the wear sleeve. Wipe any
excess Loctite from the assembly.
Ensure the seal lip is dry. The seal must
remain dry for proper sealing.

interference is found, remove the bearing
retainer and eliminate the point of interference.
24. Ensure that the pitot tube holes in the shaft are
clean and free of burrs and staking material to
allow the pitot tubes to fit into the holes and seat
completely to the bottom. Apply a thin coating of
Loctite Primer N and #609 (or equivalent) on
the straight end of one pitot tube (3). Coat the
tube to approximately 20 mm (0.75 in.) from the
end.

C7-28 Fan Clutch C07001


Push the pitot tubes to the bottom of the hole.
The outer end of the tube should be located well
within the pulley-locating shoulder of the
bearing retainer. Rotate the tube so the open,
bent end faces in a counterclockwise direction
and is exactly parallel to the surface of the
bearing retainer. (A large phillips-head
screwdriver inserted in the end of the tube can
be used as an alignment gage).
Install the second pitot tube in the same manner
as the first. Stake each pitot tube in three places
(at the 9, 12, and 3 o'clock positions) to prevent
the tubes from rotating in operation.

FIGURE 7-66.

26. Lubricate the seal ring grooves of piston (23)


with an oil-soluble lubricant such as engine
assembly grease. Install small seal ring (24) in
the inside groove and large seal ring (22) in the
outside groove. Refer to Figure 7-66 for proper
orientation.

27. Lubricate the external surfaces of seal rings


(22) and (24) with an oil-soluble lubricant such
as engine assembly grease. Also lubricate the
seal mating surfaces in the pulley adapter.

C07001 Fan Clutch C7-29


Do not push the piston in place. Forcing the
piston will usually cause the seal rings to be cut.
28. Carefully place the piston in the pulley. Without
pressing down on the piston, rotate it slowly
back and forth until it falls into place.

FIGURE 7-69.

30. Install spring washer (25), shim (26), and


spirolock ring (27). It will be necessary to press
downward to compress the spring washer while
forcing the spirolock to properly seat in the
groove. The shim must then be centered on the
spring washer to prevent it from interfering with
the movement of the piston.

FIGURE 7-68.

29. Align the tangs of the piston for final assembly


of the fan clutch. Lift the front bearing retainer
sub-assembly in place on the pulley. While
doing so, the slots of the front bearing retainer
will engage the tangs of the piston, and the
retainer will rest against the pulley. FIGURE 7-70.
Then, rotate the bearing retainer (and piston) 31. Place the front bearing retainer sub-assembly

oil. Allow the excess oil to drain off, then place
the facing plate on top of the steel plate.
Repeat this step until all 16 plates have been
installed.

32. Turn the pulley adapter assembly over and
install two lifting eyes 180 degrees apart. Install
a guide bolt in one bolt hole of the pulley. Refer
to Figure 7-71.
Coat front O-ring seal (34) with petroleum jelly
or an oil-soluble grease. Place the seal in the
groove in the pulley. The grease should secure
the seal in the groove during installation.
Carefully lower the pulley. Ensure that the guide
bolt is aligned with a bolt hole in the bearing
retainer assembly and the O-ring seal is still
securely in place. Lower the pulley until it rests
on the front bearing retainer.

TEST PROCEDURE

1. The fan clutch should be fully locked up with 275 kPa (40 psi) oil pressure supplied at the control pressure
port.
2. Operate the fan clutch with 82° C (180° F) oil supplied to the “oil in” port for 2 hours. Manually engage and
disengage the clutch during the test to operate seals in both modes. Restrict the fan mounting hub rotation
while the clutch is disengaged, but ensure that the fan mounting hub is allowed to rotate freely while the clutch
is engaged.

The fan clutch rotation causes the pitot tubes to pump lubricating oil from inside the fan clutch,
maintaining low internal oil pressure. If lubricating oil is supplied to the fan clutch before it is rotating in
the proper direction, internal pressures will become excessive, causing the oil seals to leak.
