Just wanna give a huge thanks to hud 91gt for helping me flare a brake line. Great guy who has an amazing eastwood flaring tool that made short work of the flare I needed. Thanks again
You know what, i just discovered the fifth gear and brake thing last night shortly after sending that message. I googled it doing the head on it but silly me already had everything out before loosening the crank

I have a thin 32mm wrench that's useful for undoing the viscous fan clutch on BMWs.
You may need a separate fan clutch holder tool too though, or you might be able to just whack the wrench with a mallet and give the nut enough of an impact to loosen it. Do note that the nut is counter-threaded, i.e. rotate clockwise (toward's driver's side) to loosen.
Anybody have this tool? It's needed to take the fan off of a BMW. I already have the 32mm wrench. Tried whacking it with a hammer like most people do on these cars and it's still not coming off.

^ You can get an adjustable one that will work from Canadian Tire as part of their tool rental program.
When you buy it, it states on the receipt that it's part of the program and eligible for a full refund if you return it in original condition within 24 or 48 hours (don't remember exactly).
I loaned it from the Grandview/Bentall location. They have them behind the auto parts counter on the lower level.
Thanks MG1 for have another random tool for me to borrow. Wish it was magnetic since the screws where so tiny but got the job completed.
Maybe I should make them magnetic before I return it back to you lol

Not to worry, I have a mag/demagnetizer. But if you want, go for it.......... I'm too lazy, lol.

I replaced the battery on my old phone in a japanese restaurant
The soy sauce dishes were perfect little screw holders

Practice makes perfect....... start with larger items, like 6 sided dice. Then move up............ errrrr...... down to dried peas, then grains of rice.
When you master that, go for fly blind folded, like Mr. Miyagi, aka MG1.
