They are M6 x 1. Get a tap and longer bolts, too. I start with 25mm long and cut them down if necessary. > I was thinking about making a puller for the fan out of a piece of thick > steel and two bolts, that is what the one in the Bently looks like.

The threaded holes in the fan hub are M8 x 1.25 and will require rather long bolts to reach. Something like a 1/2" bolt in the center is good to push with. Sometimes you can buy or rent a cheap steering wheel puller which works well. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
