You are forgetting I have the V8 and a mechanical fan
. The added length is way too long to fit any impact gun I have seen.
If I replace it I will buy a new bolt though.
Last night I pulled the fan and belt, I thought I fixed the leaks from the gasket on the water pump so I put the belt back on and I couldn't see any wobble at all from anything. Can't really explain why, because I would have thought the belt would pull itself into alignment but I guess not?
Anyway, one thing down now on to the water pump!
