Are you sure they are seized? Those are Lapp Skintop glands which have a ratcheting mechanism so they won't vibrate loose, but in other applications I have been able to just turn them counterclockwise and not worry about the clicking noise they make. I don't believe I've taken down any 450 APs though. We use that brand of glands on enclosures though and I've loosened and retightened lots of them.

Also I don't think you have to crank them down super tight on the cable, I would only do it tight enough that it grips the cable. Definitely only finger tight.

Subject: [AFMUG] Plastic Lube

The grommets on bottom of 450 AP's always seem to seize for me.  Is
there a plastic safe lube I can put on the threads to prevent this?

Trying this but not sure if its plastic friendly.
