I ran around all morning here in Vancouver, BC. I checked out Sears and Canadian Tire, but to no avail. The largest wrench I could find was a 27mm.
Does anyone have a clue where I might be able to find a 32mm wrench in the Lower Mainland?
I'm trying to change my belts, but this is holding me back and IT SUCKS.
Anyway, if anyone could help, it'd be great. Even an online tool shop would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

you are a good man, matthew c smith.
now why doesn't sears canada have it?!
any bicycle shop will have a thin 32mm since they use them to open the main pedal bearing.
Also why do you think you need a 32 mm to change belts?
Later,
The fan clutch takes a 32mm wrench.
FYI: I had luck with a closely sized standard wrench :)
edit: maybe a 1 17/64" (I doubt they make that) but a 1 9/32" is probably made. Heck maybe even a 5/16.
It's better than nothing I suppose.
1 1/4 inch tubing wrench is what I use on the fan clutch.
You do not need to remove the fan clutch to change belts.
Later,
PS: Did you ever wonder why they call those thin channel locks in the tooling kit water pump pliers?
just an update.. after giving up on finding a 32mm wrench to remove the fan, i went ahead and did the belt changes w/o the assistance of the extra room created.
i used one of the fan blades to transfer the belt around it's pulley, making for an easy change.
i did have a couple of hiccups along the way, but it took less than 30 minutes.
