Well my water pump died yesterday night and we're trying to change my pump between my classes today, so I can go to the Uwharrie Safari tommorrow. I have all the parts, but we CANNOT get the bolt that attaches the viscous clutch and the fan to the water pump. My service manual says there is a special tool required, and we're tried calling Land Rover Charlotte, asking to borrow, or buy one of these tools with no luck. They want $300 labor to do it themselves, and have been absolutly no help at all. Anyone have any ideas how we can break this thing loose, or get a hold of one of these tools, or something, I really don't want to miss the Safari because of this damn thing. For anyone in the area, we're out at UNCC.
Thanks,
Jon

JC,
I'm sure there are other ways, but I used a 1 1/16" open end wrench on the fan clutch nut and a pair of channel-locks on the exposed snout of the water pump flange.
Make sure you're twisting the right direction - think it's counter-clockwise, but I always get mixed up between my Disco and RRC which come off in opposite directions.

36 mm and it comes of with a right hand thread (turn it anti-clockwise). If it has been on for a long time or had any type of locktite applied, it will be very very difficult to remove. For the wrench, try
