Re: Lug nuts seized, they have caps!!
RJsfishin wrote: Yeah, like an owners manual knows everything !! I have never heard of even one who had nuts come loose from never seize. Yup. What RJ said. I always use it on the taper, as well. Reduces galling. And as others have said, do not let some idiot "sock'em down good" with all the power his impact can give.512Views0likes0CommentsRe: How easy to pull furnace fan out?

I've used long tubes of the diameter of those on sewing machine oil (which works like a dream, BTW), specially bent lengths of coat hanger with q-tips taped to the ends and even a length of broom straw dipped in oil. This has given me years of extra service on fans from those that are seldom used to ones that work for hours a day. Hey, just did it again today. The fart fan in my most used bathroom started squealing and growling again. A little sewing machine oil quieted it up again. Last time was about three years ago and it runs at least 2 hours a day. Installed in 1992. Now it's kinda becoming sport for me.417Views0likes0CommentsRe: How easy to pull furnace fan out?

westend wrote: Silicone is an excellent sealant between two surfaces held in compression. It doesn't tolerate sunlight, weather, or movement very well. Agree. I use silicone only to seal mounted fixtures that may need to be removed, as a gasket, if you will. I prefer quality marine polyurethanes for permanent aluminum and fiberglass installations and joint sealing. I've had good results with Dicor on the rubber roof and Eternabond or similar "tapes" for rips.433Views0likes0Comments
