[T3] Nuts & Nests


I treated some lugs bolts with anti-sieze recently,
and a few weks later had to remove them.  The bolt
was very difficult to remove due to the lack of
anti-sieze on the conical shaped surfaces of the
bolt/wheel.  Be sure to apply Kroil or such to that
area too.  I had a bus once with a lug bolt that I
never removed, even after a 6 foot cheater pipe, and jumping on it.  Fortunately never had a flat!  Of
course, use anti-sieze on that surface.  I also
add some to the surfaces of contact between the 
wheel and the brake drum (back side of the wheel).

When cleaning out critter nests, take some extra
precautions to prevent breathing the dust. Some
field mice are carriers of the Hanta virus, and
the route to infection is the droppings, by breathing
the dust from them.

If possible spray on a bleach solution to disinfect,
prior to cleanup, wear a mask, etc.  Stay healthy.
This is limited to the southwest/west, but due to
the implication of cacti, you're in the area.
