^^^ all of the above work but UUC has the set for relatively cheap no white knuckles included 39.95 I think.

i just used a big ass flathead and wedged it between the bolts that hold the pulley on. . and double check you're turning it the right way since it's reverse thread.

Austin??

Hey guys anyone have a pulley holder for the fan clutch... I got the 32mm flat wrench and have tried to rig something up to keep the pulley still but I cannot get it done.

Do you have a cut off wheel? Or the reamer-like bit? (I don't remember the actual name for it)

Edit: it's probably easiest to pull the entire water pump/fan clutch assembly so then you can get it on a bench to work on.

What up Austin Gangsters. I just upgraded my coils and got a set of JOM coils with shocks and struts for sale.

Shocks and Struts still have a bit of life in them (2 years old but unknown miles, probably less than 20k but my ODO doesn't work) Struts have e46 vert mounts that are less than 2 years old and are in pretty good shape. I have adjusters for the rear though I didn't run them. The front adjusters are a bit haggard and don't lock to the strut nut but work fine.

Paid $400+ shipping for them 2 years ago, I'll let them go for $150 if anyone wants them.




Edit: They make your car this low \/\/\/

bought mine from performance bikes off south lamar. i just give it a quick yank at first and it spins off fine.

And maybe a fan clutch removal wrench?

It is a 32mm wrench that needs to be thinned out a bit, idk what wrench we used instead. My dad made his own version of the BMW tool that holds the pulley in place out of a 1x24x1/4in steel bar that he drilled the holes into and etched out the round part with a cutoff wheel. We had to pull the water pump with the fan on to get the sumbitch off.

I hate to see that hit. I also hope there weren't injuries.

I'm doing a wheel bearing soon too. I've been assuming one of the local auto parts shops would have a loaner tool for it.

That could be a possibility, I'm getting more nervous driving on this bearing. Parts are in the mail though so I'll have to stick it out!

Ouch, that really sucks. Hope everyone is OK.

Is he going to part it out?

[markspelman]

Wow that's a huge bummer...
