Howdy,

 

I decided to remove the sick electrical fans and shroud I made after having the temperature crawl up when I was tracking my car. I think the temperature probe is not opening at the advertised 190*c.....

 

I saved the studs for the fan, but I can’t recall the orientation; does the longer threaded section go into the water pump/pully? Or does the shallow end ?

there is a picture in the ebay link below.

im waiting for the glue to dry on the door lobe , someone answer quick! ? 

If you put the long end in the pump flange it will pass through by quite a bit because the flange is thin.  Wasted threads.  Therefore, the short end makes sense.

Agree, shorter threads towards the engine. Wear gloves if you can. That'll cut your knuckles all to hell.

I've used a small pen sized telescoping magnet coming in from the fan side to get the nuts started.

@siteunseen @Zed Head any locktite on the engine side? Was thinking maybe blue, but it might be a pain if it needs to come off....

I did not use any. Lock washers on mine only.

Fan side.

Hemostats are great for this. 

I use them for fishing hooks. 

I USED to use them for fishing but I quit. Now they're a very useful pair of locking pliers. Available at Walmart in the tackle department. Also a doctor's office when you're waiting on them to see you. Tounge depressers are a good get too. I lost popsicle sticks when I left my mom's.

i ended up using my fingers, it was not too bad, but one of the nuts got my hands all cut up....

i tightened them till the flange started spinning due to the torque from the wrench, i did not see a spec in the 260z FSM....so 1million ft/lbs it was.

Rubber on the door lobe also dried, passenger door seems to need a little more adjustment.

 

Thanks for the help @Zed Head @siteunseen
