Started taking apart the 3.0 motor to get the vanos system out. BUT, I can't get the fan clutch off. It seems that the bolt is seized and the wrench keeps popping off when I whack with the hammer. The water pump tool is tricky to setup too, but I got it to hold the pump. The way I see it; I have to cut the shroud in half below the radiator clips and then remove the two pieces and unbolt the four screws from the clutch fan. Then I can start vanos system removal for seal replacement. Can I get away with only a secured top half
shroud? Any ideas on how to get this bolt loose? YES, I am loosening
to the right. Thanks in advance. I hope the vanos goes easier.
