Review on πŸ”§ Lisle Short Spanner Holder Wrench - 43580 by Raymond Doe

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nice tool with modification

I ordered this tool for my 2002 GMC cousins to replace the fan clutch. The tool worked very well after I cut off the nipples used for Chrysler. There are small holes between the bolts on the water pump pulley. The nipples on this tool are not long enough to use the holes so you will need to remove 3 of the 4 water pump bolts to use this tool. BUT in order to be able to use the tool after removing the 3 screws you will need to cut off the bottom nipples. Otherwise the elongated part will hit the last bolt and not fit the second hole required to keep the water pump linkage from rotating when attempting to disengage the fan clutch. I only gave 3 stars because I believe that if you buy a tool for the job it will work better without modification. Being a maker by trade I was able to look at the tool and realize that simply cutting off the bottom makes the tool work flawlessly. It did the job on a 2002 GMC Envoy (which is also an enabler and I believe it works up to the 2009 Envoy and enabler, but make sure you cross yourself to be sure.) It'll probably do fine on work in a Chrysler. But if you work on a lot of things, buy 2 so you can mod one for GM.
