The threads are left handed. Let me know if you get stuck, I have the wrenches and you're not too far away - plus I have the day off.

hey, I got this cover off and i'm guessing that you can drill/tap right from the side of the case and 'PIN' this in with a set screw or something? Is that the alternate method. bet you don't even remove these covers ? thanx , crossy- night.

Don't bother with a set screw or a tab. Just take a punch and peen the case down over the pin.

don't try to take the fan off at the big nut.

take it off at the engine (4- 10mm bolts) it's alot faster and easier!
