Hi Ken, it is standard aviation practice to install bolts in such a manner that they are least likely to fall out, in the event of a nut coming loose. This means installing the bolts on an airplane with the heads facing forward, and if vertical, with the bolt head up. There are exceptions, but they should be outlined in the Service Memorandums, or Service Manual you are following. Best of luck,Alaska Pete -----Original Message----- From: Ken Townsend [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 4:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [COUPERS-TECH] Wing bolts ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Hi all, I have taken the wings off my Alon and am in the process of having an annual done. I have a couple of questions for you all. 1. When replacing the wing bolts, should a person use any anti sieze or grease? 2. The bolts had the nuts at the back side of the plane. Does it matter if these are installed with the nuts to the front? (I think they will be easier to remove in three years if that is done.) By the way, a long extension with a 15/16" socket is needed and a 1" box end for the nuts with the "standard ...nut to the back...set up)..
