Thread: Viscous

u trying to remove it?
you rembered its a left hand thread?
seen a car mechanic just take a chisel and big hammer drive the nut around, you need to lock it in place, land rover have a special tool but i imagine some well placed spanners/screw drivers would work.
have you got offset spanner that helps think they are avaliable from the likes of repco.

Yeah knew the left hand thread bit but would still not budge

Well its for a 3.9 and looking at the new pump it looks like a rh thread.

I'm pretty sure my 3.9 was a RH thread (1994 Disco).

My nut was bigger than other have said too. It was a 36mm or there abouts.

Yeah that would be about the same as mine. My biggest spanner i have is 32mm and that did not fit

According to RAVE, both the 3.9 / 4.0 they are both a RH thread.

I can assure you that a 3.9 with V belts is LH thread.
Looking from the front of the car , you hit a large spanner with a lump hammer in a clockwise direction towards the passenger side.
So if its v belts hit that way and it should loosen
