<p class="MsoNormal">This would be an opportunity to change the stock fan to something more effective and possibly ditch the electric pusher. I got rid of the pusher when I went with a 'tropical' fan and all is well in a hot climate. A TR6 fan and the improved
fan from Mark Macy are also options to consider.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">If you think you will ever want to rebuild the steering box this is the moment. You might clean it up to assess. If the leak is slight going with a heavy lube like the PenRite product might work well enough.<o:p></o:p></p>

L</span> I have a pusher fan on the rad but can the stock on be removed altogether? Or do I need to get a elimination kit? Or get something else?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="m-2221965310602438300msolistparagraph">-<span style="font-size:7.0pt">
</span>The steering box is all greased up, I think there is probably more on the outside than inside, any suggestions on sealing?<o:p></o:p></p>

</span>Something else? She has had maybe 2500miles on a fresh engine and then “stored” for 12years. So all fluids are going to be replaced, anything else to look for?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Like others, the body shop that did the paint and body assembly used about 60% of the bolts. Some were hand tight. And this drivers side was 7/16” and the passenger is all ½”
