My specialty tool was a flat head screwdriver bent into an "L". Worked rather well..

 

i tried using a wrench and set of pliers. no go. it wants to stay were it is.

 

Hey Everyone Im back!
and with some great news!

after taking a 300mile trip and my temp staying at 130 i decided to check the thermostat.


well after checking it i figure out it was broken in 4 diff pieces!

so it wasnt stuck open or stuck close it was Broken open hahah.


Well with my fan clutch on so far i got 13.49mpg and today i took it back off and now im working on measuring it with just the efans!


btw i replaced it with a 180 thermo.

Also when wiring the efans with a temp switch in the radiator where is a good place for the 12v ignition wire? couldnt i just put it on the Normally open side of the fuel pump relay?

Thanks!!
