ABSTRACT:
A holding tool is used to connect or disconnect a water pump pulley and a fan clutch. The water pump pulley is attached by a threaded shaft to a connector on the fan clutch, and the pulley has at least a pair of fasteners each with an exposed fastener head that extends from the pulley's surface which is next to the fan clutch. A head of the tool is inserted into a narrow space between the pulley's surface and the fan clutch. The tool head is narrow enough to fit into this space. This tool head includes a hook element at an end of a straight edge lever element. While grasping a fastener head of one fastener with the hook element and engaging a fastener head of another fastener with the straight edge lever element, a second tool is inserted into the narrow space to grasp the connector on the fan clutch. While both tools are engaged, one or both the tools are turned to disconnect or connect the threaded shaft of water pump pulley and the connector on a fan clutch.
