    Tips on How to remove the Viscous fan

    you need a 32mm spanner, I took mine off to replace water pump also but have left it off. I also fittted a/c fan with fan switch. This rarely comes on, even when towing 3t trailer, unless in a long traffic queue. So there's no need for fan & you may get better mpg
