Bob,The installer who did my tower used plenty of NeverSeize on the non galvanized bolts and nuts and I had no problem removing them 12 years later. I was surprised to find them prepared that way but very thankful.

So something that would leave the nuts still adjustable down the road is preferable, even if has to be re-sealed/coated at that time its fine.Suggestions?-bob _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk |
