My God... Just pull the radiator and then deal with the clearance issues before you damage something trying to not do it correctly. Any rush ??
Huhhhh, That's exactly what I'm doing.......

This may sound like a dumb idea, but
I encountered the exact same problem.
I ended up using a pair of vice grips
to remove the studs from the water
pump. They got messed up, but are
cheap to replace. There should be
just enough thread length exposed
to where you can get a hold on them.
How do you adjust the clutch? I've put quite a few of these on and never heard of such a thing.
Yeah, me either..please explain

So here is a Hayden 2947 that I run on all 3 of my cars. I don't see a second slot like they talk about in the article. Is this the style that you are adjusting?Hopefully this can help ya'll out [link below].

1.077"Correct
The shorty Hayden is not made to be adjustable...however I've made them adjustable by filing a small notch next to the factory locating notch. Just gotta be careful as there's not a lot of meat there...So here is a Hayden 2947 that I run on all 3 of my cars. I don't see a second slot like they talk about in the article.

In all actuality it didn't make much difference at all, which is probably why they don't have adjustment slots like some others. It's fun to try stuff though
Please post up your results.Every last degree matters! I'm going to test the next fan clutch I put on, in terms of clutch engagement before & after.
