How to Adjust a Horton Clutch Fan

All automotive engines use a fan to keep the engine cool during operation. If you are having problems with your engine overheating, it could be due to the Horton clutch fan installed in your car. When the fan does not operate, the engine overheats and turns off. As this could happen during operation, adjusting the Horton clutch fan could keep it attached to the serpentine belt on your engine. You dont have to be a car mechanic to adjust the clutch fan. You can do it yourself with little hassle.

Instructions

1

Park your car on a level surface, and apply the emergency brake. Pop the hood, so you gain access to the engine.

2

Use a socket to remove the upper fan shroud from the Horton clutch fan. This is the protective piece on the top of the fan.

3

Use a belt tool to suspend the serpentine belt. Make sure that the serpentine belt is making contact with the Horton clutch fan. Adjust or replace the belt if needed.

4

Use a socket set to loosen the bolts securing the clutch fan to the car. Adjust the fan so you can get a good fit on the serpentine belt if needed.

5

Tighten the bolts and situate the serpentine belt to the fan. Release the belt by removing the belt tool. Close the hood.
