    I think that the cranked spanner would be easier to use.



    You can't get an ordinary open ended spanner in there.
    I just put calipers on the nut in my 3.9 V8 it would appear to be 37-38mms.

    I just pulled my radiator and used a 38mm open ended spanner with no troubles. However it was a touch too big. Perhaps 37mm would be right.

    Got my hub spanners in the mail yesterday, hows that for prompt service
    36mm was the size I needed. What a b**ch to get of even with the spanner. Holding the water pump pulley not so easy!!
    Radiator guy was not too impressed with the general condition of the radiator, it has seen better days, has had a few repairs already and may not be worth spending any more money on .

    My question is, do you really need to remove the fan to remove the rad?? Never had to on other cars I've worked on and not having a fan spanner would rather leave it in place.
    If I have to get a fan spanner, where to get one, what do they look like??
    Graham Coopers have got the spanners on special atm, only $15.00 !.....cheap!!!!
