Hi stupid question but here goes anyway. What size of spanner required for removal of viscous coupling on a 1996 2.5tds frontera.
Thanks Dougal :roll:

On my 2.0 ltr engine I use a large extendable spanner upto 26mm I think and a pair of mole gripes aswell. Don't forget the thread is opposite lock, i.e to unlock you turn clockwise to lock you turn anti-clockwise.

Some viscous fittings have a allen key in the centre of the fan, but I think it depends on what vauxhall felt like fitting on the day your truck was made. :?
