99 XJ 4.0L Automatic
I have my timing cover off except for one bolt that is behind the mechanical fan pulley. The screw is just BARELY hitting the hub that the mechanical fan clutch and blades screws into.
Do I have to remove the entire AC condenser and bracket like the FSM says, or can I pull that pulley/hub(?) off the shaft where the mechanical fan was?
I tried just leaving both on there, and hoping I could slide the timing cover out with the bolt still attached, but its too long and hits the pulley/hub.

Red arrows are the pulley/hub I am talking about. It just barely clips the screw, so taking out the entire compressor seems like overkill and I'm hoping I don't need to.
