Engine pr0n: M54 teardown

I'm sure some of you know about this channel, where he tears down at least one engine weekly, and last night's was pretty instructive.

He used some special tools to remove the fan clutch but I couldn't tell what it was. I was under the impression that I would have to remove that to get the thermostat out, but at least in this E46 config that doesn't look to be necessary.
