they are tight for a reason. get a proper tool to align the holes which will
open them up just a bit without removing the galvanizing. if lock washers were
required they would have been included, do not add them.
why would they be harder to tighten at 30' or higher? they should be just the
same up there as on the first section.

Later this year I am going to erect a Rohn 45. Before I start this job, I
have been checking everything on the ground to be sure all is good. I
discovered that the bolts that connect the tower sections have been hot
dipped in zinc. They are very tight, and I think that it might be too
difficult to tighten them on the tower when I am 30 feet or higher. Should
I take a tap and die to clean out the threads? Lock washers were not
included. Should I get some zinc ones before I start this job?
