In Reply to: Fan Clutch Nut - HELP posted by MATT on July 08, 2001 at 12:58:40:

Thanks guys. I gave it the liquid wrench treatment and tried the screwdriver, but it still won't budge. Guess I have to pick up one of those $50 BMW tools tomorrow - or convince my local mechanic to let me borrow his!

Guys-
I am trying to remove the fan to replace my dist/rotor on my 86 325e and I can't get that 32mm fan clutch nut loose. I know it is left threaded (loosen clockwise from the car front), but I can't get it to loosen, no matter how hard I hit the 32mm wrench. I am even using a piece of wood against the wrench and hitting it with a hammer - to no avail.

Can anyone help me? Is there any way to keep the water pump still while trying to loosen the nut?

TIA-
MATT
