HI

I am trying to remove my fan so I can get TDC (another thread) and have removed the three outside bolts and the inner one but the thing is still solid. I have a manual and that appears to suggest I only need to remove the three outside ones. Am i missing somthing here? Or would it need a tap with ammmer get get it out.

Here is a piccy


The bu**er is solid

Use a puller to remove it as they can be very tight

Does the middle bolt need undoing as the manual says just the three outside ones

Cheers

In theory just undo the three bolts then the fan should come off from the hub with a bit of gentle persuasion. Otherwise release the centre bolt and take the fan off with the hub using a small harmonic balancer type puller.

A little WD40 and a GENTLE tap around the pulley with a hammer should help free it. It has a key way

Cheers guys

But I can see how i could remove the fan with the centre bolt in. as It looks to be one peice of metal. Perhaps a quike scrape might show the fan from the housing

Cheers

The fan fits onto this hub with the three bolts.

Removing the fan belt would help too! It's still in place in your first piccy.

Why are you removing it ?????? to find tdc as you were told in the other thread you dont need to remove that!!!!!!!! head and brick wall!

Yes I am as somone told me that the woodruff key centre at 90 degrees is TDC. I have been strugling to find TDC as i cant really see in the cylinder and as they are horizontal it is difficult to find it using a pencil
