Stainless steel hardware can seize up,
a process called galling. To significantly
reduce its likelihood, (1) apply lubricant
to bolts, preferably an anti-seize lubricant, avail-
able at auto parts stores, (2) shade hardware
prior to installation, and (3) avoid spinning on
nuts at high speed. See Installation Supplement
910,
Galling and Its Prevention,
