Do not attempt to remove fan/viscous fan drive assembly from vehicle at this time. WARNING: Constant tension hose clamps are used on most cooling system hoses. When removing or installing, use only tools designed for servicing this type of clamp. Always wear safety glasses when servicing constant tension clamps. CAUTION: A number or letter is stamped into the tongue of constant tension clamps. If replacement is necessary, use only an original equipment clamp with matching number or letter and width
  4. If the water pump is being replaced, do not unbolt the fan blade assembly from the thermal viscous fan drive.
