Car: 1988 facelift e30 320i auto Thanks very much There is one 32mm (REVERSE THREADED, SO CLOCKWISE TO LOOSEN) bolt to remove the fan clutch off of the waterpump.. 4 10mm bolts / allen head bolts (I have come across different types before) if you wanted to remove the fan from the fan clutch.

deane30 30 Report post Posted April 19, 2009 Thanks FrantiC. I did mean to detatch the clucth from the fan thanks. There was a company (dmclutches I think??) selling them NEW on trademe for $125 incl shipping which is a lot cheaper than at the dealer. I can't find the listing on trademe anymore though. They said there was a 3 or 4 bolt model Cheers Dean Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
