Part of the reason (really) I live in central Florida is because things do not rust here. I did spray the adjustment bolts with aeroKroil and used an 18" wrench but they turned freely & none are near maxed out.

First studs I have broken in years was the one wheel hub and was because someone with a bigger air gun than IQ managed to drive 12x1.5 nuts on 1/2-20 studs. Fortunately I have a press so replacement was simple.

Also see some corrosion so have ordered all new outside fasteners in stainless (I make it 32 3/8-16x1.25 and 16 1/4-20x5/8, correct ?) Imagine I could just clean them up since no loss in strength evident (and I spent five years in Michigan, know what real rust looks like). But like to fix things once so will replace all while easy.
