[s-cars] T-belt R&R

[Sean Douglas]

Craig:

There are two ways:

1. Remove the three bolts holding plastic fan from the viscous clutch as
per Fred Munro
2. Remove the clutch assembly using special tools, as detailed here:
http://www.sjmautotechnik.com/TROUBLE_SHOOTING/cooling.html#S4Fan

When I did my timing belt, I did #1 above, yes its tight and you will
get scraped knuckles, but doable.

Spray some penetrating oil on the 3 bolts as these tend to seize as the
clutch is aluminum. Also, remember to mark the fan so you can put it
back correctly.

How Mr. Munro got that driver's side lower T belt housing bolt off
without removing the viscous fan is beyond me.

Which begs the question: How to remove the viscous fan?

It is NOT those three 10mm bolts that hold the roller to the assembly.
Putting those bastards BACK ON is a twenty minute, two pinky install.

All help appreciated.

Thanks,
