Hey Phil,

Normally, I don't post when I haven't a clue what's going on, but today I'm not feeling normal. This "central bolt" is in a fan clutch according to the original post in this thread. Have we moved on, to the crankshaft in this thread?

Reason I ask, is I know of very few left-hand threads in my Volvo experience, but one of them is a central bolt on a cooling fan, and I've never seen the fan clutch someone posted earlier belonging to a 1980 240. I've owned a '79 for nearly 20 years as second owner -- it has the same fan and clutch provided on all the 80's and 90's 240s where there's room to sneak in a 10mm wrench to remove four nuts.

The left-hand thread I'm thinking of is not something anyone would hang a breaker bar on. It attaches a plastic fan blade to an electric motor.



I think you have one of these in your '92 if I'm not mistaken. I know this isn't the fan the OP is fighting, but the principle might apply, given the fan in his picture is outside of my experience.

But as abnormal as I feel today, I'm reminded no one would use a rope trick to remove a fan bolt on a water pump, right?
