the fan hub spanner is 32mm - i got mine from alltools I think. It was a ford one but works fine!
I remember the first time trying to undo it. I could just not get the nut off as the whole hub would spin - tried all manner of tricks. Thought i needed to fabricate some sort of locking tool. Drove 1.5 hours to my dad's blacksmithing to use the tools and when I got there I demonstrated to the blacksmiths how it would just not come off - but ofcourse the nut came loose first spin....
good luck! 9.5mm drill bit for the fip locking, i undid the crank pulley bolt with a breaker bar against chassis rail, and re-torqued with a 'hand impact wrench'. blackknight's write up is excellent. i also did p gasket while i was there.
What is the p gasket ? I have the pump locking and a pin for fly wheel loanrangie going lend me a couple of bits ( much appreciated ) so the sounds of it i need a torque wrench and im good to go ?
The P gasket, so named because of its shape, goes behind the waterpump.
It is notorious for leaking and that usually shows up as coolant on the side of the block under the manifold.
Thanks will change it also anytging else i shod do whilst ive got it all apart ?
How much did you want to spend?
The worst one I've ever done ran $12k in parts and took 4 weeks, but lets be realistic here In the process of destroying the previous 2 engine my ex had also killed the gearbox and tcase and the radiator and the handbrake, and the rear propshat....
next worse was $3k inparts and 4 days but that turned into a head change when we found a crack radiating from the front rocker post pad and the onwer wanted the head changed as well
usually I recomend a close examination of and attention as requird to
the radiator
the hoses
the intercooler
the water pump
the VC drive pully mounting bearing
the AC pullies
the power steering pump
the p gasket
the thermostat
the rocker cover gasket
the oil vapour seperator
the oil
the filters
the harmonic balancer
the injectors an leak off line
the lash caps
the manifold and exhaust gaskets and bolts
the alternator bearings
the engine electrical harness
the engine mounts
the shocky rubbers
the serpentine belts
cleaning the AC condensor
fitting a low coolant alarm
the battery
brake fluid change
powersteering fluid change
basically a complete 80K Km service and inspection.
and a dose of biocide into the tank if you've only been running around the city and havent thought about it for while
