 Fan center bolt backed out, I'm betting it's not as simple as just bolting it back in. |

I'm letting the boy work on this as it's his car and he should be able to turn a wrench.
The car overheated and he didn't know why. So we figured it was an obstructed oil cooler, or flaps may have been closed. After poking around and checking he found the fan has come loose. From what I can see with a mirror the center bolt has backed out and is MIA. Along with missing center washer. What should I be looking at here? |

As usual, the Cap'n is spot on. The fact that it overheated suggest that the fan was not turning, so the woodruff key might be missing as well. I have a few hubs with bolt, washer, and key if you can't find them locally.
