Ok i'm trying to pull the head off of my 325is, i am to the point where i have to remove the clutch fan and exhaust manifold, my problem is the clutch fan, for i am without a 32mm wrench. What are any other options that i might have rather than buying the wrench?

u should go to local bicycle store and get teh wrench for 10-15 dollars. i know the the oem wrench is lilke 50-60 dollars but the one from the bike store works just as well. Als remember the the ran clutch nut is reverse threaded. good luck -
I normally use a big punch and a hammer, works every time. Break it loose and spin it off.Comment

Buy a GIANT pair of these:
I mean BIG, with really long handles. (Couldn't find a picture of what I have) They are worth their weight in gold. I use them all the time. Probably cost what that 32mm wrench would but you can use it for all kinds of stuff. I'm pretty certain that's what I used to bust the fan clutch loose.sigpicComment

Use a big crescent wrench if you have one. Tap it to the right at it should pop loose.
Also, you don't have to remove the exhaust manifold to pull the head.
