Should I put some of that anti-sieze silver paste on the ends of the threads too when reinstalling the new one? Not sure if that helps prevent later corrosion. |
It is a stud with a nut threaded on one end. Sure, you can use anti-seize. But I never have and I've never had too much problem getting them off. (I've never broken one yet)
And since you are not reusing your original stud/nut combo, then if you find that you need to get the stud out, use one of two methods:
1. Use a smallish pipe wrench. Whatever size will fit the space.
2. Put both nuts on the one stud and then turn the inner stud with a wrench counterclockwise until it is free (actually hold the wrench in place while you either whack it with a large hammer or sledge or while you lay on your back and push the wrench with your foot.)
