Everyone,

Nope -- go for it, just make sure that all of the old glycol-based fluid is gone. Also, even with silicone fluid, 45 years is too long between flushes / refills.

> 2. I ordered from the Roadster Factory new wires (140606( for the securing the rubber boots on the axle shafts.  What I received are long wires (about 18" with a loop on each end. Can anyone tell me how these are supposed to be installed?

Twist them together like the wire that keeps potato bags closed. The loops are to slide a screw driver through to get a nice tight twist. Then fold the "pig tail" over to get it out of the way.
