			'''latebreaker:''' Does anyone have a tip on removing the fan from the alternator on a T4 2000cc engine in a T25? If I lock the alternator cooling fan, it just turns, and wrapping the aluminium heater fan in a rag and standing on it is just going to bend it! Any ideas about stopping the alternator shaft turning while undoing the (expletive deleted) nut would be most welcome!

			'''HM:''' What's wrong with locking the pulley, either in situ (using existing belt with extra pressure) or removed from van, using a chain or textile band grip (e.g. oil-filter style band grip)
