Fan clutch bolt size?
Ok so I've read a bunch of threads on removing the fan clutch and I rented the fan clutch wrench from autozone but it just slips and is starting o strip the nut. Anybody know what size wrench fits on the fan clutch nut on a 94 4.0?

Sorry, no. I just used a small pipe wrench on that. It was a snug fit but it worked.

Re: Fan clutch bolt size?
Maybe you figured this out, but in case not...I just replace mechanical fan with electric on 07 4.0 litre V-6. Borrowed the kit from Crappy Tire and same problem. What worked is use the large wrench from the kit to hold the bolts on the pully - go back to Crappy Tire and buy the biggest adjustable wrench - have buddy hold the large wrench from kit - place adjustable wrench on nut - using BFH (preferably rubber mallet), hammer adjustable counter clockwise and nut will relase. Have fun!
----------
BTW for my American friends, Crappy Tire is what most of us call Canadian Tire (Similar to your Pep Boys, etc.)

Installed Flex a lite 180, puller. Wiring kit and temp sender included Zero issues with computer. Turn on temp is easily adjustible. Very easy to install and works perfect.

I ended up using a strap wrench to hold the pulley then put a large adjustable wrench on the large bolt. I'm using a 14 inch fan and a torqflo adjustable wiring kit. I have mine set to kick on when the needle gets to the halfway mark an it usually kicks off when it gets just below the letter N on the gauge.

I use a air hammer to bust em fans off. Sit the Set the chisel on the edge of the nuts give her a few bursts. She will break loose every time
