thank u so much for this tip.... i was at my wits end, i literally felt defeated and then i came across your video here, it worked like a charm. i dont usually leave comments but in this case it was necessary bcuz your advice helped tremendously...... so again thank u man...., peace.....
I don't believe this, just spent several hours trying to fabricate a special tool to no avail before trying Google one last time. It really was as easy as your video, absolutely incredible, thank you. Not only have your videos helped with our bimmer but you've now saved me 40 quid on our disco 3. You the man!

Brother you are the man! Lol. I had to locate me a 32 mm which was impossible in my town to find for my BMW and I thought I was going to have hell with this until I came across your videos after watching a dozen others it came less than a few seconds my nephew was right there and couldn't believe it. Thank you so much this video is gold to me

Cool man, but I bet U $1.55 that U still couldn't get that fan (& clutch)out without removing most of the other junk that is in front of it first.
it's a fan clutch not clutch fan

The fan is a “clutch type fan” but the clutch is a “fan clutch”. Hope that helps!
