HowTo: make you own fan clutch tool for M60

For removing the visco clutch fan you normally need a 32mm open wrench as long as possible, and the holder for the pulley. While it is easy to make such a holder for the M30 and the M70 as the bolts on the pulley stick nicely out, you need some bushes for the M60 as the pulley has a different design, as on this the bolts do not stick out so much.

In case you have the standard holder and you cannot get a grip on the M60 pulley on the screws with your tool, remove 2 bolts, add some thick washers onto the bolts and screw them in again, then the tool will also fit.
