Having been advised that I was trying to get the fan off the wrong way, (I thought it was left hand thread like a 300) I still can't get the thing off.
Anybody got any tips.
 
Yes, I've tried wacking it and it still won't move. You can't really lock the pulley up so you just depend on belt friction.
I want to get it off as I need to change the tensioner and its a sod to get at with the fan on. Its difficult enough trying to change the belt.
 
i got some special spanners for mine :crazy_driver:

if you can't buy or brow any give it a sharp whack, the right way with a big hammer and a cold chisel
 
I managed to wedge a big screw driver against two of the pulley bolts, it gave enough resistance to hold it enough for the main bolt to undo - mind you I hadn't been trying to undo it the wrong way first so you may need to invest in a proper tool to hold the pulley.
 
That Difflock locking tool has given me some ideas. Should have something at work I can adapt. Once you can lock that pulley up securely it'll come off. Tried the screwdriver but couldn't get it secure enough.
Thanks guys.
 
I have been assured the TD5 is R/H thread. I can't remember, I took mine off 3 yrs ago to fit a Kenlowe.
I used a cold chisel to whack one of the flats on that bl**dy great nut
