Wait until you get to work with steel/stainless bolts on aluminum.....on a dialy basis. Sometimes patience is worth it as drilling/tapping/heli-coiling is a royal pain in the ass. That said, any penetrating lubricant in those situations is a lost cause as it makes the eroded material between the dissimiliar metals into a paste that doesn't clear out of the threads and the bolt usually shears off.Very well said. Siggy material.A 3/4in drive set....... and me hanging off the end of a 5ft cheater bar.
Bolts are cheap, time is not.
