Cooling fan mechanical clutch

[Pablo]

Looking for a little how 2 advice. Fan clutch failed. Can it be replaced without pulling the radiator? Anyone have details. Looks like the shroud and elect fan assembly must be removed at the least. Any comments appreciated. '04 grand Cherokee 4L, 6cyl.

I've got no first hand experience, but I did some research, and it looks like you can pull the fan shroud off without pulling the radiator. You'll need to pull the fan and the shroud off together. Apparently it's pretty difficult to pull the radiator out of a WJ.

The rad stays put. Just undo the fan. Then undo the shroud and pull them out together like Terry said. I just did one a day ago at the shop.

Thank you and Jester32.
