I would also caution you to make sure you are NOT using one of the original steel 2 blade fans. They are destined to fail and the results are catastrophic damage to radiators, hoods, and who knows what else! Get your hands on one of the cast aluminum 2 blade fans from one of the suppliers as you go about making your repairs on the water pump and you will be glad you did.
