    The 300 Tdi has a Left Hand thread!
    It is surprising with the amount of force it sounds like you have used that it hasn't come undone.
    Cheers, Martin

    Im glad at least one reader used my drawing to create a useful tool
    As you say its for a PUMA. The pins engage holes in the pulley. It wont work on a Td1 300
    A Tdi 300 requires a tool to capture the bolt heads fastening the pully

    This link shows the kind of thing although this is for TDV6

    I cut mine off with an angle grinder.
    Also dismantled my water pump that way as well.
    That was a 200tdi so i had a little more space to play with between the fan and radiator.

    This is how I remember ...............

    If the belt goes over the top of the viscous pulley, (eg. Tdi 300) then its a LH thread, if it goes under the pulley, (eg. Td5) then it's a RH thread.

    When I removed the Td5 viscous hub I had a 6' bar on the hub spanner and my friendly radiator man had another 6' bar on the 'special tool' hub bolt head holder. It took all our effort to 'uncrack' the nut.
