Yep, thanks. Funny how I didn't look at the door panel after I took it off. It was pretty clear.

I'm having a hell of a time getting the fan clutch off. We removed the expansion tank to get better access. Tried the special tools and no budge. Tried randomly bashing with a mallet with a 4lb sledge a good 40 times, no budge. I'm at a loss here if anyone has some insight on what'd they do in this moment.

I'm sure you know it's reverse-threaded. Are you banging in the proper direction? Once off, use a dab of anti-seize on the nut & spin it back on - no wrench needed.

Hit it with some penetrating oil. It should come off real easy if you have the wrench and pulley holder. It's reverse threaded.
If you're using the mallet, you want to do quick strikes so the pulley doesn't move too much.

Yeah I've been doing quick strikes in the clockwise direction. Have used some penetrating fluid too. Quick strikes has also clipped my thermostat and ripped it apart lol. Luckily that's one of the things I'm replacing. So penetrating fluid and that's really it? This is like our third (and most "going all in") attempt at getting it off. I don't know what more I can do.

I've had better luck with a deadblow hammer vs. sledge - you don't want it to rebound upon impulse. You can use a long-handled screwdriver or prybar (or "special tools") across two of the bolt heads on the pulley to keep it from turning as you strike the wrench on the nut. Might just need more time with penetrating oil, or a torch!
Good luck!

I ended up cutting the top of the fan clutches cover, unscrewing the fan blades, lifting the rest of the fan clutch cover out with the fan blades, and then taking out the water pump. That's what I was in there to replace and doing a cooling system swap.

Are these a direct bolt on with the 135i BMWP calipers?

Yesterday my hazard and lock switches in the console stopped working and the mirrors have started acting possessed. My locks still work from the fob. The mirrors will move unprovoked to through their full range of motion. When I use the switch to select right or left and move the joystick, it will move all the way in that direction. so I am unable to adjust my mirrors short of manually.
Anyone had this issue?
