Vette(s): 1982 C3 Collectors Edition 44000 miles, sat in the sun most of its life, My wife purchased it for me for Father's Day in 2007 from her girlfriend that had it for 19 years. It is on the road again. I'm retired but it is now my daily driver.
I'm going to repair my power steering leak this weekend. I got a really good deal on everything but the pump which is the one thing that does not seem to be leaking.
Is there anything I should be aware of (tips or tricks) before I start this. The front end is all new so this should be the last of the issues I have to fix when it comes to steering.
Also I would like to pack the front wheels as that has not been done sence I have had the car and may never have been done. What should I know about that other than the normal stuff I have packed wheels on my older cars before.
I just thought that I would ask in advance for onces.

Vette(s): 1972 conv, 4-speed, 350, 200hp, numbers match, rally wheels, war bonnett yellow w/white top. good condition, nice driver.

Pay close attention of the routing of the hoses. As for the wheel bearings it's just like any older car. Inspect the races & bearings. When I got my 68 12 yrs ago I did the bearings & decided to just put in everything new for the piece of mind as they're not that much money. Just get american made bearings if you go that rt.
