Could be the last time someone put it back on they cross threaded the left
hand threads. |

No way. What's your mileage?
Can't you put a prybar between the screws on the fan hub, and counter twist against your wrench? That way, that pulley will take less of a hit. I wish I had a pic. Just these 4.8is don't have that clutch fan. I have taken off all of mine before without any special tools. All were 3 series so maybe it's different. Can you take a pic of where you put the wrench? And wrench you are using?

Good question. PArt of my motivation for buying a manual was for the electric fan like on my e46. That was unfortunately not the case.

Yep and it is extremely easy. I used a electric fan from a 95 960 Volvo, the cooling fan relay from the same, and a 40 amp circuit breaker. Plenty of write-ups with pics on the web. This was installed on a 2002 X5 3.0l.

Yep, that's the one, it must really be on there. I see you're in NYC, if the vehicle has spent it's entire life in the north east it could be corrosion from all the salt they put on the roads in the winter.

Get the bar and wrench close to each other. So close that you can grab both with one hand. Use two hands though, and squeeze the two together. Or put extensions on the bar and wrench.
