Use a 10mm open end wrench. Reach it down between the front of the fan housing and the round rod that runs across just in front of the fan housing; the wrench will JUST fit thru that gap. You will probably have to turn the nut slightly and then flip the wrench 180 deg to take the next "bite" on it. DON'T overtighten the nut; that is just extra work and you can easily deform the clamp. Get a feel for how tight it NEEDS to be by trying to turn the dist as you tighten the nut. You'll find that you quickly reach the point where you can't turn the dist any more. That's tight enough. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
