Reply With QuoteI drilled holes with a 5/16ths drill bit and then had to ream them out a fair bit with my die grinder. That's just the biggest bit I had handy. I think the holes need to be a little over 3/8ths of an inch, since it's a 10mm head on the bolt.

Fan clutch tool help:
Hey guys, I started my new job a few days ago as an assembler for industrial size pumps and decided to make my own fan clutch removal tool at my neighbor's shops. I just need to know what size the 4 bolts are on the water pump pulley. I would look myself, but my car is at my friends house because we've gone surfing for the last 3 days. Thanks again, Andrew
