I'm pretty sure Jeff knows what's up, but I will make sure to get the belt right. Using a cricket to tension.

A few miles on the setup and some time to upload photos.

Ready to start the job:





Before shot:



Photobucket Beta sucks, more to follow...

bart1

Take the nut off with 24mm and XZN 10.



Put some penetrating oil on the SHCS and use a good 5mm bit



Fan without pulleys.



Took off fan sensor



Loosen shroud bolts and take loose retaining strap



Tried to use bolts to pull fan off, but hub was staying with fan instead up shaft.



This is how I kept my alternator wires sorted out.



Fan off, alternator removed.

bart1

Very carefully used lead hammer, proper size socket and padding on my wood bench to remove hub. After it was out, I used 400 grit wet sandpaper to get the rothsport unit to be a nice slip fit.



Open space when removed.



While shroud was out I painted it gloss black. Fan was just cleaned. Used antoseize on reassembly.



Took my fan belt sensor and cut the plug out of it, soldered and heat shrinked wires and tied up in engine compartment.

Bart, what tool tray/cady is that in your pics? I have been looking around for something similar since I built my shop and installed a lift. Seems I never walk back to my toolbox anymore, tools are always on a tray rolling around from car lift to MC lift(s).

Nice write up BTW.

Hazet Assistent. Hazet and Porsche have a long history and I have several tools from them. Cheapest way to get them is order direct from Germany usually. My dealer over there is great.

They are not cheap, but contact this guy if you are interested - tell him Bart sent you!

Love Hazet stuff, should have recognized it. I have found that most decent, useful, robust tools can cost a little bit. OK by me.

To me, $800 before importation for a cart is not a little.

I will spend money where it counts, like torque wrenches, allen sockets, etc., like this makes sense

Do like the cart's look though I suspect it would get badly beaten up in my shop.

cheers,

Mike

I've never had to pay any import duties on what I had shipped here, but I pick up most of it in Germany. I actually bought my Assistent used from a guy in California.

As you can see, I have a lot of hard line tools from Hazet. Have always been pleased with them.

The cart is 60 lbs and all metal, so a pretty tough customer.

Mike J

My cart is 80lbs and I have dropped engines on it .. and it cost me $10.

(yeah, I can appreciate good tools though - just ribbing you although its true about the cart).

Cheers,

Mike
