Hi Jules

Het my so 30 min gevat.

Maak die alternator los sodat die fan met die hand gedraai kan word. Sal sien daar is stelskroewe aan die kant sodat alternator kan beweeg. Daar is 6 moere wat los gedraai moet word aan die voorkant van die fan. Dink dit was n 10 spanner. Doen dit ook as jy rustig is, die spasie is min en jou gedult moet baie wees. n Mans raak maar moeilik met die knaap wat die ding ontwerp het met so min spasie.

Sterkte en hoop jy kom reg.

Jules, 20-30minutes spanner-time plus 10 minutes plaster-time.

You will need:
12mm spanner (ratchet-spanner will save 5 minutes).
14mm socket with (very) short extension. (14mm spanner can also work).
10mm spanner.
Groundsheet
2 flat Screwdrivers
5 plasters.
A good supply of strong language to keep recalcitrant nuts in line, especially during the re-assembly process.


Work as follows:
step1: place groundsheet under car to catch nuts.
Step2:Loosen the four nuts holding the pulley and viscous onto the waterpump flange. (10mm spanner)
Step3: Loosen the alternator bottom bolt (14 spanner)
Step4: Loosen alternator top bolt (through the adjustment bracket) and relax adjustment bolt completely. (12mm spanner)
Step 5: Remove four nuts loosened in step2
Step6: Remove fan and viscous from water pump, and take to workbench (screwdrivers to wiggle it off as the viscous fits tightly on the waterpump shaft)
Step7: Remove four bolts holding fan blade onto viscous (10mm spanner)

Apply plasters as needed, remember to keep some for the re-assembly process.

Assemble in reverse order.

Voorspoed

Thanks Marinus & Peter

Peter, I suppose the ground sheet doubles to catch the blood resulting from your spanner rash?

Hi

I am in Cape Town next week and can carry some bit and pieces (providing it is not too heavy) if anybody needs something urgently. PM me if you need something brought up to JHB or Pta.

Peter, I suppose the ground sheet doubles to catch the blood resulting from your spanner rash?

Christo, there shouldn't be that much blood. What happens is that you tend to scratch the back of your hands against the radiator cooling fins, causing damage very similar to paper cuts. As everybody with a female in their life knows, a paper cut is the second most painfull event possible, beaten only by childbirth!

[Jules]

Nou net besluit ek sal dat iemand anders dit doen, ek is n bloeier

Peter, as to your comment on giving birth as the most painfull thing, Im sorry I dont agree at all. Some ladies give birth more than once, have you ever been kicked in the nether regions and then no mind having it done again ?
