Ouch  Don't let anyone use an IMPACT gun to put them on. Inspection stations are famous for using one so you have to come back and not do the job yourself.  I do my own loosenin an tightenen. NO PROBLEMO! A little oil works well as does the Never seize.

Just for information: I coat all my outdoor light bulbs with Never-Seize (I call it never sneeze). This allows removal of the old bulbs easily after many years. Before using this I've had bulbs that broke apart while trying to remove them. After the bulb breaks, there is a lot of work trying to get the screw-in socket base out. In the past I even had to replace some of  the sockets part due to the seizure.  With Never Seize........that doesn't happen. Man, this sounds like some sort of commercial or something. There are of course many different manufactures of anti-seize compounds, but they all work the same.

Thanks, never heard that one before - need to try on the outside lights. Ever try it on toast? 😃

Naw, tasted bit too metallicy

I use it to coat blower shafts that were cleaned down to bare metal. After everything was re-installed blower wheels and scrolls...coated the shaft to keep from rusting and ease of down the road repairs. They sell it in aerosol cans that can be sprayed. Also used Boeshield T9 (like WD40)) to protect stuff from corroding up.
