Hi Folks,

Just thought I would share these tools with you all. Made them up today expecting my fan to put up a fight with my hammer, hence them being so grunty! But it must have realised I meant buisness and I didnt even need to show it the hammer at all. Worked a treat...



A few hours of measuring and making, and off with the fan...


Spanner for nut is 36mm across flats. The pulley locking tool is 66mm between centres on the 12mm holes. The welded collars are 10mm long, but really only need to be 5mm long. I will machine the ends of these down prior to refitting as it was a bit tight!

Going to make a crank pully removing tool in the morning. I will post pictures and sizes of this up after I try it out and make sure it works.

Cheers all

Dave

Very nice! Your fan looks different to others and mine.

Really? Thats the inside face of course, that you dont normally see. Its a V8 engine, so these are different to Diesel of course. TD5 I belive has a 32mm nut in is left hand thread. V8 is 36mm and right hand thread.

Ahh thats why...V8 Mate!
The TD5 one is not so nice and curvy!
