I just brought a set of spammers from flat dog to do mine 😀

I can see the version for the TD5/V8 on flat dog's website but not the one for the Puma. Too bad it looked reasonably priced

It's not the same tool, I reckon it's different size and the one for the puma uses pins that plug into the pulley.

So I eventually ordered a pulley holder that I had to cut as it was too thick to fit in between the fan and the pulley.

Hi all

I have to remove the viscous fan on my 2.4 PUMA too. Do you have some links to order the two special tools to do it easily?

Best regards

If you can afford the price of the original tool, I would definitely recommend http://www.dingocroft.co.uk to order the LR tool (ref. 303-1334)

If you have a sds drill with chisel only function, a very quick zap with that and its instantly undone - no where near as brutal as it sounds, mine resisted a home made special tool and spanner, a hammer and chisel & I tried the sds in desperation, worked superbly with hardly a mark on the nut!

Thanks all

I will place an order on dingocroft. I allready broken my fan shroud. It will spend me some time and maybe money if I directl take the correct tool for doing this:-D

Hi!

I was waiting for my tools and I tried only with a 36 spanner and hammer. It worked fine! Only few trying and it worked!

Maybe sometimes it could be impossible if it's too much rust but some WD-40 and it should work for those doesn't have the special tool.

Best regards
