replacing the viscous fan quite easy to replace.

you can do the proper way which is buy the right tool from halford and use that, it a 32mm spanner made especially for viscous fans (well works on the e30), or you can use a flat blade screwdriver place it on the nut, preferabbly on the edge and carefully stike the nut with a sharp blow, but dont kill the nut!!

also please do remember IT IS A REVERSE NUT, it opens anti clockwise!!!!

from memory i think the viscous is bolted on to the fan with 4 - 6 spline/torx bolts.

not hard to do, just be carfull.

HTH.

Just use a normal 32mm spanner and give it a whack with a hammer, left hand thread, drop the plastic cover underneath and it drops out. pretty easy !!!!!!!!
