ABSTRACT:
A fluid coupling adapted to be attached to a pulley assembly which includes a pulley member and a hub having a set of external threads. The fluid coupling includes an output coupling member, an input coupling member rotatably disposed within a fluid chamber containing a volume of viscous fluid whereby torque is transmitted from the input coupling member to the output coupling member in response to relative rotation therebetween. The input coupling member includes an input shaft having a boss portion adjacent the rear surface of the output coupling member. The boss portion defines a set of internal threads for threaded engagement with the hub. The boss portion also defines a radial aperture and the output coupling member defines a slot disposed radially outward from the aperture and adjacent thereto. Both the aperture and the slot are adapted to receive an elongated tool such that rotating the output coupling member in either direction rotates the input coupling member and the boss portion in the same direction to thread the boss portion onto the hub during assembly, or unthread the boss portion from the hub to permit repair of either the fluid coupling or a device on which the coupling is mounted, such as the engine water pump.
