x2: just buy the $25 tool and keep it, you'll need it again some day.

 

I can CONFIRM.. THIS WORKS FOR DISCO I's as well this tool is only going to cost you $25 dollars, and you dont have to try to put vice grips on your pulley and not mess up the distributer vacume advance... Notice the distributer was pulled from the Thread Starters Vehicle. The DI USES A 36mm WRENCH as well.

Sorry for the HUGE image size

Old thread, but missing this note...

From the Discovery Workshop manual, "NOTE: Nut securing viscous unit to water
pump has a right hand thread. Release by turning anti-clockwise when viewed from
front of viscous unit."

 

Like we said, slap that wrench sharply and firmly with a hammer. Not a little love pat. Not slow and strong. Might have to increase tension on belt pulley tensioner.

 

Or stuff a rag between the belt and one of the pulley, eventually the rag will lock up the pulley.

 

Someone please tell me that this fan clutch is the correct one? I bought the one that goes on the 2000 Chevy express Van with no AC. It looks a lot different but I'm sure that doesn't matter I just wanted to see if anybody had any experience. Extra bonus points if someone can tell me before I get the water pump replaced thank you
it fits on there just looks different

Thank you, I had no problem getting it off I'm just trying to figure out if that fan clutch that I purchased in the photo will work. It is one for the express Van not for the Land Rover. They didn't have any Landrover clutches.
