Mine just went on my 2003 UK 760Li. Amazing timing mate
By the way, I was quoted £230 for a new bmw fan clutch by a specialist. Does that sound excessive?
@@honestrunescaper yes
Probably about right👍🏻

Holy crap this actually works flawlessly. I was like ... no way... thata faked... nope. I can not believe it seriously just saved me hours of bs
Haha yep, you’re welcome!
Very nice 👌
Another useful video man!
Thanks Jack!
What do you do if the drive belt has broken, how do yu lock up the pulley
You can still do it but may be more difficult👍🏻
ok IO guess someone must have changed a broken fan belt?
Wait
How is it holding itself and not spinning?
The impact shock affect
didn’t work for me, tried using some penetrant and had no luck
my man!
Why won’t work for me
Doesnt work on a wrangler
عمل ذكي
wrench! you mean spanner haha good vids tho pal
Wrench is what people know worldwide, seems only British know what a spanner is👍🏻
bad ass!
🙌🏼
What size was the wrench?
32mm
@@GeorgeAusters is that for all fan clutches?
@@Sip28 No. Mine is 36mm
It.s workkk😂😂❤❤❤
Of course it does👍🏻
Bmw engineer got a heart attack watching this video.
😂
😂 indeed
same action as an air hammer ;)
Yep pretty much!
@@GeorgeAusters you ever heard of the one to pop the track rod end out of the hub? im surprised i know a lot of people dont even know that one
@@TotoGuy-Original I haven’t. How do you do that?!
@@BasitKhan-eo5rn take the nut off turn the steering full lock so the track rod sticks outward then use a hammer to hit the knuckle couple taps and the ball joint should pop out. I hope that explains it. Or maybe George can show everyone 😉😉😏
@@TotoGuy-Original oh yes I do know that one now you’ve explained thanks 😊 very effective
Didn't work. Just wedge a large flat blade screwdriver on the waterpump hub between hub and nut instead.
It should have worked.
Didnt work on the e250. Thanks anyway
It should work on all cars
What happens if you turn the fan the opposite way without taking it off?
It will just turn the waterpump
@@mvc2177 May as well while you're in there

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.
This technique does not work on a 2002 dodge ram 1500
Did you leave the belt on?
@@GeorgeAusters yes the belt is on but it appears I'm going to have remove it
@@GeorgeAusters do you have to take the belt off?
@@ravertosh it's easier if you leave the belt on
Anti clockwise haha
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!
