How do you remove the radiator fan clutch on 1994 Mazda B-4000 truck?

To remove the radiator fan clutch on a 1994 Mazda B-4000 truck, follow these steps:

1. Park the truck on a level surface and turn off the engine. Allow it to cool down.

5. Remove the fan blade bolts. These bolts are usually located on the back of the fan clutch.
