Well my project keeps on growing. Putting things back together I noticed the fan belts were definitely showing their age so I yanked them out this afternoon. Decided I better check the bearings while I was there and sure enough there’s some movement on the fan. Was getting dark in the shop and didn’t have anyone else there to watch but assume it’s play in the bearings. Wondering which route is the easiest to pull the fan. Service manuals shows it coming out the top but I assume with the cylinders and cylinder support in the way that’s not a option which leads me to my question. Which is the easiest way to remove the fan, pull the rad or take the cylinders off? I’d assume pulling the rad is easier especially as it’s already drained but thought I’d ask the experts and see what everyone had to say. The joys of old iron, the gift that keeps on giving lol.
