Should You Grease Bolt Threads at Joan Cross blog

Should You Grease Bolt Threads. If you are trying to increase the torque on a bolt slightly, you may find you’ve overshot the mark because of the torque required to break that bolt loose. When doing bolt and nut installation, one of the concerns you will have to address is how to ensure that they actually fit properly and that they end up lasting long. My father (an engineer, but not an auto mechanic) taught me to use a tiny dab of machine grease on the thread (not the rim) of. There is more consistency with the lubricated studs than the dry ones. In a flanged assembly with eight. Proponents of lubricating lug nut studs argue that it can help prevent galling, which is the process of material transfer between the threads of the lug nut stud and the lug nut. Since lubrication on the threads will allow the bolt to spin more easily into the hole, it's possible that torquing to the factory spec will. Lubrication effect on bolt tension and torque.
