??? The nut at the back (engine end) of the shaft comes off, the pulley comes off a woodruff key, the key comes out, the shaft slides out to the front. The actual viscous clutch doesnt come off the shaft, except in pieces, with the aid of a BFH, in my experience. One or both of the bearings may be retained by a circlip. Both common cheap bearings.
