Dose anyone have a suggestion on the simplest way to remove the Viscous fan on a 300TDI when there is no belt to tension against the turn. I'm using a 32ml Viscous spanner with little luck. I am correct assuming that it is a left handed thread.??
it is lh thread ,hit the center of each flat in turn ,it will just unscrew by hand then
Nope braying the nut with a bolster hasn't budged it at all. Obviously I can't hit the nut with the 32ml Viscous spanner as the pully just turns and there doesn't appear to be any other way of jamming the pully. Has anyone got any ideas.?
I'm clutching on to your optimisum mind James....the nut is beginning to look a little worse for wear!!
Take a look
how are you doing ,it forget that ive just seen ,it must be a flat punch , your supposed to be just stretching it not butchering it , it does work as i have to do it regularly
Bugger the nut just so soft it's not working!!! Any other ideas James.?
