It’s a right hand thread. Anti-clockwise for removal.

I bought a spanner off the web - what I'd have thought would have been a decent thing, and it was carp. The fan may not have been off in a while, so it was tight, but not excessively I wouldn't have said. The jaws just opened up and deformed.
I ended up taking a grinder to a 32mm spanner I had, to thin it down enough. Worked perfectly. This was in a Tdi, and I've never had to do anything on a TD5, so it might be different. Just food for thought in case it doesn't go as easily as you'd like.

I made my own special tool and use a hammer to kick it loose. Roel

Glad you got sorted John, sounds like you're doing some work on her!!
Here's the spanners to go for, mine have the td5 and v8 logo stamped in them though.  |

Not done any work yet. Ordered a new fan unit and service kit today.
Some jobs i have been putting off plus down time from motorsport events plus 2 weeks off gives me some time. 1999 Defender TD5 110 Regards John M0VAZ Econet Station 48 no clock |

Don't forget the plastic bag for when you're removing the main oil filter

Thanks greeni for that tip!! I always made that mess with the oil filters! I had to kebab defender and rover ones off, due to access. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Viscous fan off - with the help of a copper hammer. The fan spanner wouldn't budge, so a quick knock with a hammer gave enough to move the spanner.
All in all not a bad job with the right tools. Philips screw driver for the fan shroud Set of fan spanners (Flatdog in this case) others makes I am sure are available Hammer to shift the spanner enough to get it started A replacement fan and coffee. 1999 Defender TD5 110 Regards John M0VAZ Econet Station 48 no clock |
