[oletrucks] Re: Stainless Steel Fasteners

With all the stuff on stainless steel fasteners, remember to use a good
thread lubricant on all threads.  Mixing carbon steel (in the block) and
stainless hardware can result in severe galling of the threads, making
it impossible to remove them.  Use something like Never-Seize.  You
haven't lived until you had to remove a 3/4-10 galled bolt with a tap
burner (EDM)...happened at work where we use stainless hardware all the
time.
