No its not my advert!
No need to hit anything, except your wallet for about £20
I have one, takes seconds to remove/re-fit the fan.

I had to use an old belt to hold the pulley, needed a friend to hold the grips while I hung off the spanner!!

Job best done with the belt on
300tdi opposite thread but TD5 is normal thread I believe.
If the belt is off it makes the job 100x. More difficult.

Viscous fans ALWAYS undo in the direction of rotation.
