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.
