Re: Difficulty removing wheels

["Pantelis Giamarellos" <pantg@otenet.gr>]

One more thing to use is the so called "copper grease". Here in Greece you
can easily find it in marine mechanical supplies stores.
You can even pur "copper grease" to the turbo and exhaust manifold screws,
bolts and studs for easy removal.

I have used it it the past in my Land Rover's turbo and never had a problem
with the screws since them.
I use it for the RS2's lugs and they always unscrew easily too.

I hope this helps.

P.S. Here in my corner of the world copper grease is expensive.
