Good deal. I took me about 3 days to do mine only because I would start working on it for 5 minutes. Then it would start to rain and I'd have to stop. Plus I don't have an in door garage.

Yeah that fan can be a PITA, last time I did my pump I also took out the radiator for a good flushing, glad I did cause I discovered one of the rubber tranny hoses had a big blister on the bottom, and was about to rupture.

that fan is easy with a strap wrench and a pair of channel locks or a big crescent wrench.

The fan is also easier if the belt is left on.

1 hour? you could make some money, lol

Flat rate is 1.5h

w/ps add 0.4h
w/ac add 0.4h
w/air pump add 0.4h

You could have been paid 2.7h for 1h of actual work.

nice.
