I have always followed the rule that warm up is best done underway at low speed.

Go to Mercedessource.com. Ken has a video discussing lubes for doors and windows. He really likes the synthetics.

Yes KM is great. But caution! They made me an EXACT replacement sender that included a cork float. After installation later, I found the cork was not treated in any way and so the cork float got eaten up by the ethanol. Down comes the tank again and I had to get a replacement of the cork float with a plastic one. Solution: see if they can put on a plastic float (I did) or coat the cork with gas tank liner paint or whatever it is..is it a paint? I brought this to their attention but it was when the pandemic was starting to take hold. I do not know if they actually made the change. https://www.jegs.com/vpt/Omix-ADA/Fuel+Level+Float[UPLOADING IMAGE.... PLEASE WAIT]

The Borg clocks are repairable. But they are notoriously unreliable/inaccurate probably due to voltage fluctuations with the 6 volt system.
What say you experts out their? Repair or "quartz" them?

This is familiar! I had to pull an axle for inspection on my 47 Clipper. To find a forged puller I had to go to Ebay and buy a vintage puller. I took the wheel off and attached the puller being careful to put the nut back onto the axle so the contraption would not sail through my garage wall or ME!
I did a few whacks on the puller arm and walked away. I did this several times during the day until I heard a gratifying POP! The outcome was the axle was fine and it was reinstalled as it was obvious the inner seals were fine.

Would bulb grease be helpful here?

I had to pull the right rear axel on my 1947 Custom Super Clipper. I followed the directions from HH. I would strike the pull handle occasionally as I puttered in the garage. Eventually I heard a satisfying BANG and the axel broke loose!

Probably debris in the fuel tank. Remove gas tank sender and see if there is a filter of some type.
If so, replace it.

Love and blessings to our dear Susan. A big hole has formed by her absence. A successful life is judged by the love that we leave behind. And Susan has won the jackpot!
