I recently did my stud update and checked valves and cover. Found a little corrosion, cleaned up and running NPG+ now.smile.gif

When we were taking nerfs off( ac nerfs) the left side was a bear to get out..Going in was no problem when we first installed them, but now I am hesitant to put them back on..Any ideas to prevent this from happening again? Would never seize help? Any suggestions would be great..:confused:

Anti-sieze will work. But, I'd just use some wheel bearing grease, it comes in a much bigger can for the money;)

Short of pouring it in the engine, there isn't much on the dale I don't use wheel bearing grease on- tie rod ends, steering stem, A-arms, brake caliper sliders, swingarm bearings, axle carrier. A high quality synthetic grease has a fairly thin viscosity and it's waterproof! It's undeniably resilient to high rotational speeds and surface protection from corrosion.

I use wheel bearing grease on mine when I last installed them too.
