Re: Fan Clutch Replacement?
Thermal is based on the temp through the radiator blowing on a coil the
hotter the more clutch. Non-thermal uses a liquid in the clutch hub but
does the same thing. There is a big nut behind the clutch rightly tight
lefty loosey, remove fan blade reinstall on new assembly reinstall on shaft.

Re: Fan Clutch Replacement?
It's easy. Sorta.
You have a fan shroud that makes life difficult while working on the fan
clutch, but all you need to is lossen the respective belts and you can take
the fan clutch off and put the new one on.
Thermal and non-thermal? I haven't heard of that before, but a silly wild
*** guess, (SWAG in short) is that the non-thermal will have a viscous
material that keeps the fan moving pretty much all of the time, and the
thermal will have a lock-up mechanism that is heat activated.
