Well, considering the BMW shop I apprenticed in didn't have the special tool for the fan clutch, and they'd been in business since 1990 or so, I found I could make do with either a wrench and BFH or the air chisel trick. I've also seen a wrench attachment for an air chisel that seemed to work on other cars, and had a 32mm piece, which might also work.
