[AT] ford fan/waterpump/belt

[Mike Sloane]

I agree with Chris. At the New Holland dealership where I worked, I 
frequently saw those pumps pulled forward and off th splined shafts for 
repair work of various kinds. The only thing holding you back might be 
the hoses, requiring you to drop them first. You might want to look at 
the splines on the shaft while you are at it - they can get pretty badly 
worn over time and not noticed.

On my Case 430CK the pump is not at all easy to remove, and the PO 
pointed out to me that there is a spare belt sitting around the 
hydraulic pump - he put it there the last time he had to change the fan 
belt so he wouldn't have to go through the removal of the hydraulic pump 
again soon. :-)
