I know this is an easy change, I did it about 2 years ago. I just cannot remember what tools I need. I think it's only a wrench, right? Anybody remember what size the nuts are? I am only asking this so I can get the tools ready today while I'm at work, so I can get home and change this thing out.
Thanks,
Jason

Thanks Danny.
I cannot remember if I remove the radiator, I did last time to flush everything out/change coolant and therm. Don't remember If I *had* to though.

Remove the lower and upper fan shroud, usually gives enough room to get to the fan clutch.

Racheting wrenches (dog bones) kick hiney working on the front of a motor. Mine's a diesel so YMMV but I can get a good 1/4 swing on just about everything, PITA even with an offset or angled head wrench but with the rachets it's a breeze.
Even if you were just going to have three of them, you could get 10/12, 11/13 and... oh, probably 12/14 and it'd set you back less than $20. Anything bigger should really be done with a box-end wrench.
Change your oil hot and often.
