Re: Hard time getting fan off water pump.

With all the posts about how hard it is to remove these, I wonder if Anti-Seize/grease/Vaseline/you name it is a good idea to put on the shaft as install? My Andrews book just says put the fan on and...

Re: Shattering Fan Blades - myth or ?

Thanks to all for the quick replies. Larry I was sure you were right - it has to be a ticking time bomb.
My mind was already made up to replace, and the consensus is that the aluminum one is fine. I...

Re: Tire Life.

Interesting question on these. I have been curious what to expect on my Firestone tires.
Those of us who also ride motorcycles have the same pain, 10,000 miles is a good average for tires that run...

Headlight Reflector - New or Old

I took out the headlamp reflectors and was able to polish one nicely. The other seems to be made of plastic or junk fiberglass, and the coating will come off with just finger pressure. Real trash...

Re: Advice to clean a Ford Emblem

Thanks for that tip - a bright light does show on the left a DL and on the right faintly ULD CO, good to know.

I'll bag it then for another day and find a better shape one.

Re: Previous Owner filled Steering Box with Grease - Up a Creek?

Like you 700 - I got it to tinker with. I probably had a wrench as a pacifier.

Re: Previous Owner filled Steering Box with Grease - Up a Creek?

Thanks Marshall, I may be chasing my tail on the adjustment if as you say the damage is done. I'll just have to put a rebuild in the things to do list. Yes I was a bit surprised to find the grease...

Re: Previous Owner filled Steering Box with Grease - Up a Creek?

Thanks for all the comments! As noted I suspect and hope that just adding the correct oil will create a sufficient mush to do a thorough lube task. I'll just use a pump from a hand cleaner bottle or...
