Fan rebuild kit

I rebuilt my fan a couple years back using a Kitmasters kit. It started leaking slowly last week, when Truck was turned off, but was still working. I figured a mini kit cartridge was needed. Then it started leaking real fast, drainage my tanks in a couple minutes after shutting it off. It quit engaging all together. So I locked it up with 2 5/16” 1” bolts for now. A/C wasn’t working at idle. Never did got hot, in almost 100 degree weather idling. Thanks to a new radiator. Anyway I noticed it looks like the big o ring in back blew out, you can see a mark, and part of the o ring. I plan on using a Horton quick kit this time. Available at Dealer for less than the kitmaster. It’s comes with the hub already assembled. I’m disappointed in kitmaster. Wondering if I did something wrong. Don’t think so, first time, followed the instructions to a T. Warranty was 2 yrs. it’s just expired. WTF? They got me good!! Lol. Anyone else have problems with the kitmaster kits? I’m posting this mainly so others don’t get burned,

 

I used the lube they had in the kit. Wasn’t very much at all.

 

Looks like the 2 yrs is still good. Installed sept 2020. I doubt I registered the warranty. Maybe I’ll get lucky, and they’ll honor it. I’ll get to make it all pretty again. Did everything but autograph it the first time. Lol.
