TD5 - Replacing return fuel line - injectors to FPR

Hi, I had to do this fuel hose replacement today in the shed luckily, it failed while on the beach but i patched it up to get me home about 1.5hrs drive. Bought the new hose and decided I didn't want to remove the manifold again, ever, so I made some tools for the job. A spanner to hold the fan hub still, a 36mm open ender, and a mangled, molested 14mm ring spanner.

First remove the plastic fan shroud, and fit the holding spanner.
Then remove the fan, it's a rh thread.
Remove egr cooler.
Use mangled 14mm spanner to undo pipe very slowly.
Assembly is the reverse of removal ;)

This job can be done much more easily. If you can make one of these, it is a 20 minute job, no need to touch the inlet manifold

You just have to remove the black bracket in the way and job done
