To add the fluid I had to used a big pipe wrench and twisted like heck. I
have a manual that shows a screwdriver that is bend over at the end that
could be used like a small "wonder" bar. I have tried the "wonder" bar but
can not get it to stay in the slot.
Once you have the cap off you need to fill - over you head. What I used was
a oil gun with a 12 inch flexible hose. I think it cost about $8.00 at the
local parts store.
good luck

Wayne,
Again thx for your input. I hope that you remember this train of thought.
It is not the fan wobbling against the pulley, it's the pulley wobbling
slightly on its shaft. The fan is tight to the pulley. But I wonder if the
water pump shaft or pulley race being the culprit spells trouble. The
maximum "wobble" is about 1/8" measured at the outside of the fan. Any
thoughts?
Hey, per your direction, the fan is nice and glossy black anyway.
Also, you were right on about the negative ground. I switched from a
positive ground to a negative ground and everything seems to work great!
Another question: How do you open the filler plug on the lever action
shocks to be able to add fluid? Possibly an impact screw driver?
