reb78 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Has anyone got the measurements or a diagram of a tool to hold the viscous fan pulley on the td5? I know what it looks like, but would be handy to know how large to make the central hole and the points to drill to hold the bolt heads on the he pulley. I have a spanner, just need to make something to hold the damn pulley! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangy35 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Looking at the picture I took, this is the dimentions. The radius of the arc is 21mm The depth of the middle bit is 52mm The top three holes (the handle I see as the top) are 11mm from the inside edge. The bottom two are 6mm from the edge. The bolt holes are 12mm in diamiter. The bolt holes are centre to centre 38mm. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderzander Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Thank you ! Dropped him a line to ask if I can buy just the locking spanner - I already have a spanner to fit the but. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 I made a very simple tool for this in the end as i too had the spanner, but no way to hold the pulley and i didnt want to spend any more money. I got the idea elsewhere and it is very simple. Two flat bars, one 12 inches, the other two feet. Drill a hole in both ends of the 12 inch bit and one end and half way up the 2 foot bit. The ends of both rods bolt to the pulley and then slip a bolt through to join them at the other end. They then hold the pulley fine and will also do the tdi and whatever else you need as they arent specific to one bolt pattern. Pics: Easy and cheap! Only thing was that my rod was a little bendy ( ) so better to use a more solid bit of bar perhaps, but it worked fine really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
