C240 Fan removal Holding Tool

[tjamesbo]

Anyone know where i can get an Fan Pulley Holder from (hire or buy) I'm stuck trying to get water pump off my 1997 C240 (M112 Engine )without it (www.technictool.com/merc.fan-holders.htm ) the 113-0040 Its readily avail in the states but in the UK ???
Also I've noticed that the Poly V belt tensioner has a star socket with a pin in the middle this means that a standard star socket will not fit so another special tool is needed?? to replace and retension the belt!

Any help appreciated

I pressume you're stuck trying to remove the water pump pulley?? If so, put the belt back on & you should be able to crack the bolts off if you press on the belt to tension it even further. The tensioner does have a torx type undent (T55 I think) but should also have a moulded 17mm double hex on it.
