Any advice on removing it to install thermos?

Have great difficulty getting the pump pulley to stay while trying to undo the fan. Have tried jamming in a screwdriver.

One thing, the thread is supposed to be Right handed, which means you turn clockwise to undo, correct? or is my head up my ass on this?

sorry but ur head is up ur ass. right hand thread = anti clockwise to undo,
left hand thread = clockwise to undo.

im pretty sure the clutch fans have a left hand thread on them so that the nut wont get loose. (that means you have to turn it clockwise)

Sweet, although I did try it both ways, just more vigorously in the clockwise direction. So a right hand thread is a normal thread? The V8's and I6's are ass about (I6 is left and V8 right). I'll have another crack at it tomorrow then ..

It's a 36mm nut yeah? You using a shifter or a spanner? You should be turning it to the driver's side.

Mine came off EASY with a screw driver shoved in the pulley bolts. Might as well soak it in WD40 over night.

Where abouts are you? If you're in Melbourne I might be able to come round and give you a hand.

For some strange reason i thought it the other way. Think I might go and shoot myself now ~

Yea, to big for anything but a shifter I have. I was turning it the wrong way, feel like an idiot now, but at least it is nice and tight! HAHA.


i am in Brissy not Melbourne.

Damn, that might be a bit of a drive

I had no luck whatsoever with the shifter, got it first shot with the spanner. Though I don't know how different V8 fans are.

The V8's are backward to the I6 - they spin the oppisite way. So undo it like a normal nut.

im pretty sure (like 99% sure) the V8's fan has the oposite thread of the TQE's
