viscous fan
Have treated myself to a 32mm viscous fan spanner but am struggling to remove the fan as it spins, moving the belt and turning engine over. How do I lock the shaft which the fan is attached to?

Re: viscous fan
Turn the engine over and see which way it turns !
Will it come off if it's a right hand thread ?

Re: viscous fan
it's a left hand thread, so clockwise to undo.
try to hold the shaft with something and give the spanner a sharp tap with a hammer. that usually works.
don't bother putting it back on, it's not needed.
