[s-cars] Viscous Fan Bearing Replacement

[racingiron at comcast.net]

I've got a growl from the engine bay that's getting progressively worse.  I've pinpointed the source as the viscous fan bearing.  I was hoping to replace it tonight, and everything went fine until I tried to get the clutch off.  I've got a 32mm bicycle headset wrench and I made a pin wrench to secure the pulley.  I applied massive force in both directions with no hint of movement, except from the entire engine.  I destroyed my pin wrench, so I'll go rent a real one from the FLAPS.  I'll probably also buy a longer 32mm fan wrench to get more leverage.  The '93 popped right off with little drama.

My question: What's the most likely thread direction on a '92?  My '93 was normal righthand.  Bentley says flatly that they're lefthand (obviously sometimes untrue).  I've seen reports of each in the archives.  The pulley (and probably the flange it rides on) and the clutch are slightly different between my '92 and '93, so I'm wondering if I should expect reverse threads.  Any tips for breaking a stubborn clutch free?
