Honestly, I don't know what the #### "antiseize" is :biggrin:

Hmmm I always just someone bigger then me to help me <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> &nbsp;I'll keep that stuff in mind next time I bolt or something is giving me ####.

antiseize? Explain?

[HippoSleek]

I can't think of any names (one is really funny - better than Nutty Orange hand cleaner), but it is a penetrating oil that you spray all around/on bolts you are trying to break loose (not WD40). &nbsp;Spray. &nbsp;Wait 10-15 minutes. &nbsp;Usually it will make it easier to get going and easier to finish. &nbsp;Plus it decreases the number of broken bolts when working on a car with rust or seized parts. &nbsp;Available at your corner autoparts store.

Always use it. Its a must.

Antiseize is a silver compound that you put on a bolt such as for headers or exhaust or anything that might be a bitch to take back off. With the Antiseize the bolt will stay where its suspose to but it will come off ALOT ezier.

#### I wish I used that when I was working on taking the console out. I busted a screw that holds the mounting plate for the rear part of the console, now it's only bolted down on one side. I can't drill it out because it's threaded all the way down, and there's no way I can back it out... I'm not sure what to do about it.

[vancouvers14]

try drilling a tiny hole into the screw. &nbsp;fill it with superglue, and put a small piece of metal in it. &nbsp;that way you give yourself something to grasp. &nbsp;cant think of any easier way

I've used it before it works great. &nbsp;Almost looks like luquid duct tape.

[S13Grl]

Yeah, I figured that afterwards too. Sorry, I used to be blonde.

Hmm, maybe i'll try that superglue thing...

#### wish you would've posted this earlier... i busted and f***ed up my bolts that connect my cat and rear muffler part so bad i had to weld em together...#### me.....still kickin myself for that....why why why.....

i use anti seize for any parts like suspension or exhaust parts. makes it that much easier if i need to do something.

[BlankFlip]

what specific parts of the exhaust should u spray? i've only helped put on a cat-back once n we didn't prep it or nething first, but nothing was broken n fit fine. but i want to ensure that my switch goes perfect so u all have ne insight on this?

[matic 240sx]

i had a bolt stripped to nothing on my front strut and i sprayed it down and took it off with robogrips... heh so it works great for that too, but before the robogrips kept making it worse..

[drifterx]

antisieze is not made to used on the inside of the car, it is very messy... i used it on my exhuast, brakes, and suspension.... it is a silver looking thing you rub onto your bolts before u put them in...
