I recommend buying the tool if you intend to own OM60x engines for any length of time. Otherwise, some people say you can slip a small Allen wrench into a hole in the pulley, and brace it against a rib on the water pump. I've not done this myself but others claim it works OK... just don't break the water pump. With the stubby hex socket and spinner tool shown in the photo above, the fan can be pulled out without removing the radiator. :-) -Dave M. > ------------------------------ > Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2006 14:49:21 -0500 > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [MBZ] was I accidently taken off the list? > > > Does anyone know a good way to hold the water pump pulley, on a 603 engine, > to keep it from turning while removing the hex head fan bolt?
