You get it figured out yet?...
When I did mine, I did it exactly as it says in the writeup. biggest allen that would fit in there, and just futz around with it until it comes off. I ended up holding the allen with my other hand. luckily mine was not on super tight. Admittedly I did have the lock carrier off at the time, so I had lots of space to work.
I kept second guessing myself as to which way it was threaded. I think it turned out to be normal.

97 A4 Fan clutch removal
How do remove the fan clutch on my 97 Audi A4 quattro 1.8L turbo? Without the special tool? I know to use a allen wrench from the back side, I'm not sure what size allen it is, or if it's reverse thread or not? Has anyone put pictures or good links up on this yet? I have all data, but it's not much help

fan clutch
So I've pulled the plastic fan itself by removing the four little allen bolts and now I'm trying to figure out how I'm going remove the reverse threaded nut to actually pull the fan clutch off. I've looked around at some of the timing belt walk-throughs and they always say "I was able to figure it out by improvising". One said they used a little allen wrench to jam into one of the pulley's holes. I wasn't able to get anything to hold it as tightly as necessary.
Thanks.
Thanks.
