Nars3000 nailed it. f80post doesn't allow pricing discussion, which I think is probably intended to keep things cleaner. Email is always fastest!

A thin ratchet is not really needed. My torque wrench fit up there just fine. A couple of short 3/8" drive adapters will be helpful.

Hey Rotzy I was reading on VTT's product page that it says that in some rare cases the capture doesn't line up with the bolt and the holes and you have to "Stretch" the crank bolt or put in a new one..
Does stretch mean torque more? I imagine putting a new one in means u now have to re time the engine no?

Thanks for this. This gives me confidence to tackle this on my own. Not sure if my gangly hands have the dexterity to fit in the space between the CH and the radiator. Did you find it difficult?

I have larger hands than anyone I’ve ever met, and it wasn’t bad. With the fan assembly out, you have ~5 inches between the crank pulley and the radiator.

The friend helping me had fairly large hands and he was able to maneuver just fine with the fan repositioned (although he is a technician for a major car manufacturer). With the fan out, you would have no problem.

Question for you: you mentioned 2 rubber shields on the bottom of the fan? Do you have any pictures? I am happy to add them to the write-up with a note about the M2 Comp being different.

Unfortunately no clear photos but below is the parts in the etk. They are easily removable with a bit of wiggle. Just held with some torx bolts.
