    You can use a large adjustable spanner for the nut but you need something to stop the waterpump from spinning like the tool in the previous post. I would try to fit without removing the fan as its possible
    See the vid for P38 which should be very similar

    Mate, I replaced my exhst. manifold, which requires the removal of the fan ,[ to take the belt off, to remove the aircon motor] approached an independant LR mob, quoted me $44 for the 36 mm spanner, went to an old toolbox , found a spanner close to the size, put it on the grinder, ground it to fit. Then put a ringspanner on the nut of the flange thingy the fan attached to, gave it a gentle tap, fan came off . could have been lucky, but the room you have to work without the fan is enough of a reason to do it, it is easily done.

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Do i really need to remove the fan to install the new radiator? Do i really need these special tools? Where can i get these tools except from uk? The shipping is more than the tools price.

    TIA
    Talking V8 or TD5? Td5 you need the 36 mm spanner to remove the fan to change the drive belt. If you can't change the drive belt, don't leave the city.Bob

    Bit of scrap with a big cyclone washer welded to it. Bend handle to about 25mm offset parallel. cut out washer to size of fan nut. I think someone said its 32mm.

    Dont forget its a left hand thread.
    TD5 viscous fan nut is not left hand thread. Bob

    Be VERY careful when removing the trans cooler hoses. The alloy pipes into the cooler are 'delicate' as the chap at LR Spares pointed out when I had to get a 2nd hand cooler

    For a TD5, yes, it better to remove the fan. 36 m/m, repeat, 36m/m OE spanner and belt it with a hammer. For a TD5 it is not, repeat not, a left hand thread.
