Yesterday and today have been breathtakingly hot here in Coastal Alabama. But I couldn't stand to just sit around for the whole days.I used the time to remove the lug nuts from both trailer's wheels and spare tires, coat the studs with OMC Triple Guard Grease, and reinstall the nuts. I also took the opportunity to remove the small engine's propeller and coat the propeller shaft with the OMC grease.
I don't remove the wheels, I just take some of the nuts off, treat the studs, replace the nuts and do the rest until all have been done. On both days when I finished these small jobs I was soaking wet from sweat.
Since I try to do this once a year all the studs were in good condition and the nuts were easy to remove.
