Thread: Viscous Fan Hub Spanner

not sure of the size

don't forget 300tdi has a left hand thread

You will nnd to use a thin 36mm open-ended spanner (LRT-12-94 and LRT 12-93) This is for the TD5 and V8 .
Hope this helps

1 1/4" AF or about 32mm metric, left hand thread, that's V8 size, don't know what the diesels are, Regards Frank.

Chris,

32mm spanner , LH thread for the V8 Non serpentine belt engines and 200/300 Tdi's,

36mm spanner, RH thread for serpentine belt V8's and Td5's.

You will also need to thin the jaw end of most spanners bought from tool suppliers, down to about 8 to 10mm thickness to clear the bolt heads on the hub. Angle grinder will do it, but a machine shop with a mill would produce a better and neater result. Ford falcon fan spanner tools will do it, but only for early non serpentine belt V8's and Tdi's.

The Falcon fan hub spanners are about $35 from Repco - if this is what you need. Incidently, I'm running a fan/clutch off an AU falcon at the moment because it was $25 and the Land Rover one was a lot more than that.......

Thanks Mark. Yeah it's the 200tDi, but I thought it was the fan hub from the XF/EA, not the AU???

The way I remember is that it undoes in the same direction as the fan rotates.
