I'm ready to put the radiator fan bracket back on. (Cleaned it up, will probably use ArmorAll or the like to make it look new).
Question:
As long as it's off, with 148xxx miles, on a 13yo vehicle, is there any way to lubricate the fan motors while it's on a bench? It worked fine, wasn't louder than normal, nothing cracked or broken. There's just 3 of those shltty Torx screws on each motor, (and probably a gasket underneath to keep it dry), so nows' the time if I'm gonna open them up.
