P-gasket replacement?
ChrisW:
I've got a nagging doubt in the back of my mind when I changed my water pump it was a PITA with the fan still fitted - if you're going in further than the water pump I would strongly suggest getting a viscous fan spanner from Halfords, think they're only around a tenner anyway.
jnoshea:
I didn't realise Halfords had them. I thought it might have been a mailorder job, thereby stopping me playing on the weekend. Cheers.
Doodlebug:
I replaced mine last year with a genuine parts one which are alloy/copper & a lot better than the pattern parts.
I'm not sure but I think my genuine kit came with replacement bolts for some reason but cant remember why!
I just slackened everything off & slid them forwards to ease the gasket in behind, still good after 12 months. Job took just over 2 hours.
jnoshea:
Two hours sounds good. I'll tell the wife 6 though :wink:

the proper gasket is an allly one and its a use once as it has a little collapseable rib on it, buy a couple of them - someone i know put two of them on for good measure!

so is that:
a) you don't touch the timing case therefore the fan can stay on or
b) you don't touch the timing case but you can't get the other part off with the fan still in place :D
