The Battery Hold Down Bolts, and the Coil Pack Hold Down Bolts, no need to Remove the Battery or Coil Packs. The lug nuts, do one at a time no need to remove the wheels. It is better though if you remove them, using Jack(s) and Jack Stands, and lightly coat the rim contact surfaces. Debating on the Drivers Seat Bolts, and the Bed Bolts. I did the Factory Stone Shields quite some time ago when I painted them, with Rust-o-leum Hammered Paint. Also the Windshield Wiper Arms, if they are the bolt on types.

 

What exactly are you saying here??

 

Sounds like you are someone who never works on your truck, or you would know by the time it’s time to work on these things Heat and Corrosion will have practically welded them together. Helped a friend changed a battery out, it took us a better part of the afternoon to get the bots loose. Had to spray them from underneath, with liquid wrench dripping down on me. No way to heat the bolts. Definitely didn’t want to snap them!

 

I do almost all my own maintenance (or by others under my instruction), am a huge proponent of many forms of anti-seize. Most who work on my stuff are somewhat amazed someone uses it to the extent I do but tend to think me later.

I almost never assembled any threaded fastener using anti-seize in the correct formulation called for on the job. There are certainly exceptions like lug nuts etc otherwise I'm rarely dealing with automotive parts that require torches etc to remove or loosen.

It's said an ounce of presentation is worth a pound of cure and in the automotive world that's always the case.

 

when replacing brake cylinders or calipers, before putting them on the vehicle remove the bleeders and give them a coat of never-seize compound.
i just had to replace rotors on the 79 F350, and the front caliper bleeder popped rite loose. last time i touched them was when i put them on around 25 years ago

 

^^^My point exactly!

I"m about to remove the factory front seats from my 2000 E-250 whose bolts were treated with aluminum-based anti-seize, been a good ten years since they were last removed. Apart from their original torque when last re-installed they are coming out very easily.
