Last night with a screech and a stall our D2 dumped its fan belt. I haven't taken off the covers yet but can feel wobble on the fan. I have the very expensive bearing but not the special tools. Is there is anyone in the Bowen area could help out please? perhaps rent the tools?
At the same time I will check out the harmonic balancer. Any hints how to make sure it's healthy?
many thanks,
Pete
It might not be much help but yesterday i saw a large selection of cheap viscous hub spanners while i was browsing through Repco.
Only reason it jumped out at me is because i ordered one online a while ago from a land rover specialist for quite a bit more

SupporterFan spanners are available from Repco and Supercheap for about $30. Alternatively you can just enlarge a tow ball spanner to fit. An appropriate sized socket and ratchet lever on the tensioner pulley bolt allows the tensioner to be held in the release position to get the new belt on.
Oooops disregard just looked at the bottom of the OP info and see it is a TD5 not a V8.

It's the Ford one that fits if you grab from Repco

Turns out the culprit was the idler just below the Ac unit.
Well mangled. Hope Mario has a replacement.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. Think I'll get the spanners anyway, maybe do the fan bearing while I'm at it. Still need help about how to test the Harmonic Balancer.

SupporterNot unless you're feeling keen, it's a right pain as it's heat shrunk into it's location. This is a good set of instructions on how

SupporterChanged out the Harmonic Balancer as part of the upgrade. Did not have any sounds or apparent issues but when we took it off, there were obvious problems!

This of course was held on tight and would recommend at least a 24' bar. Had one let go on the D1 300 TDi so was going to change it over anyway and pre purchased it last year. Interestingly the Toledo 24' bars (about $90) have different torque ratings depending on head and the ratchet head has the higher rating??? We had the holding tool in the gearbox as were doing the head, not sure if this is needed / necessary but would hold the engine crankshaft from turning.
With regard to the viscous bearing, the first one I purchased did not have a cover on the roller rack, did not want to chance it so changed it over to one that did. Again as we had the head off, we were able to take this out on the bench which made the job a hell of a lot easier.

Thanks RRT. I can imagine with the head off the viscous fan would be much easier job. Not planning on taking off the head and having found only tiny movement in the fan I think ill leave it for now. I could only get the big spanner from Repco (SCA did not have it) and will have to manage without the clutch holding tool. I have plenty of time while awaiting new belt and bearing. Luckily I was able to drift out the old bearing shell so the pulley is good. I guess checking the HB is a matter of trying to get a lever into the not very helpful space and looking for wobble.
