Thread: Disco Fan Tool 2001 TD5

I bought a falcon one and made it fit the td5 fan. falcon is 32mm from memory, td5 is 36mm

I bought a laser branded one on ebay, 32mm one end 36m the other

ebay (ex-UK) is the cheapest option. Mention where you are and you may be able to borrow one from someone local.

You don't actually have to remove your fan to get the intercooler out....It's a bit of a squeeze but doable....Just pull the radiator out of the bottom sockets and push back....Urban Panzer has a great tutorial on his website....www.discovery2.co.uk / Workshop / Intercooler Cleaninr

If you can weld and grind make one from 2 bits of flatbar, cut one with like a V that goes over that boss of the fan and holes that go around the heads of 2 of the bolts, then weld another bit on for a handle, easy as we made one for our 2001 td5

I picked up a set of spanners from Diff Lock in the UK. They are heavy so the shipping (£45 to Melbourne) pushes the landed price up considerably. I don't have access to a workshop to fabricate the additional bits and pieces to hold the fan so the set represented good value.

Don't know how it is for the intercooler, but I've been suckered by "you can do it without removing the fan" comments on several occasions. It is true -- providing you don't mind spending 2-3 times longer doing the job than it would have taken with the fan off.

Its called a "spanner" and a Hammer. I got a 32MM from Supercheap, but don't know about 36MM.
