32mm wrench for fan clutch

[dgspikes]

How did you get it off??

wrench from bike shop. i "rented" it for 10 bucks, no deposit. this was after i wasted 30 bucks by buying the craftsman open end being stubborn thinking it would fit. It literally took me a couple seconds to get it off by just jamming a screwdriver in to hold it. There wasnt that much pressure on the screwdriver though, it came off easily.

sprayed it with pb blaster, waited a while (did something else), sprayed again, waited, and tried again w/a hammer. still nothing (I had alreday done this, im not talking about just now).

reverse thread means i need to wack it in a clockwise direction right? i.e. to the right when standing at the front of the car?

yes

I just bought the factory wrench + fan pully holder.


SOOOO easy now

Not sure if mine are "factory" but I got a set off of fleaBay a long while back - so smooth - so easy.

whack it toward driver side.

whack it toward driver side.

I usually 'wack it' towards the passenger side but then again I'm right handed.

then lets say from ...

injector rail side > over distributor > towards thermostat ;)

if you are hitting it towards the passenger side then you are tightening? i dont see how hitting it toward the passenger side could loosen it??

I never even thought about that lol. You are correct.

Though it unfortunately was my weak assed attempt at innuendo. ;)

would this combo be better than that pedro's wrench or do you still need the pulley holder when you use the pedro's wrench.
