Not too much shop time, but I did pull my spare water pump apart. I was going to paint and install, but it had grease zerks and felt exceptionally tight, so I wanted to inspect it. All looked good, and it still has bushings so I will install the correct oilers. The packing was far too tight, and seemed funky. I have the proper graphitic packing coming, so that will go in as well. Shaft is pristine.

When I install the oilers, do I need to install some sort of felt wick too?

Also, one other random question. The horn had always been spotty. When I removed and reinstalled the steering wheel, it worked perfectly. Now, it's spotty again. Is there some grounding point in the hub that I clean clean?

With Virginia drivers, that loud horn is essential safety equipment, and I need it to work!
