Hello,

Can anybody tell me what tools are needed to replace the viscous fan and water pump?
What type of problems should I be aware of?

Thanks

Mike.

you will need either a viscous fan spanner /chisel, lump hammer to strike the spanner/chisel with to undo the fan its got opposit thread on it. a long bar to release tension on the fan belt, 10 mm socket and ratchet to undo water pump pulley and the water pump its self, i done mine the other day start to finish it can be done in a hour easily

Depending on Engine (Petrol or Diesel) I think the Petrol is a Left Hand Thread, but the Diesel is a Right Hand Thread....IIRC

I thought I was sorted till I read this... Lol
It's a diesel, so what is it to undo left or right.
Anybody has a positive answer.
