I did the job twice on my '86 Syncro. The first time I lubed the
bearing and that freed everything up and the fan worked great!
I did it again a couple of months later and replaced the fan that
time. It was winter in Michigan and I really needed the blower.
Having those clips before hand is important, almost as important as
putting a new fan motor in <g>. Too much work to have to do twice...
as I found out.
