I've had a lot of experience with these tools recently as I've had to replace the oil filter housing gasket, alternator and thermostat 4 times, at night , in the snow since I bought an Oreilly 2nd thermostat that failed after only 20 miles. You will use this tool a lot as almost every job you will do on a BMW engine will require removing the fan and cover. I had to bite the bullet and buy a $120 thermostat from the dealer. The OEM is made by Wahler and you can get it online for about half the price. Don't repeat my mistake. Sorry to get off topic a bit. Although I was pretty good at removing the fan and shroud, the top hole of the water pump bracket does NOT connect to the second nut on the water pump on either side. I spent extra money on this one because it looked better and higher quality. Do yourself a favor and buy the cheapest. By the way, the rubber grip does NOTHING for you.
