Most rotor cases are weak, soft, cast materials. I can't
imagine a quality stainless bolt galling or breaking before
the rotor housing fails.
It happened to several of mine....Hy-Gain bolts froze right up. I have never
had it happen to any of them after applying NoAlox.
The HD 73 stainless bolts have a tendancy to do the same thing. Not the ones
on the bottom, but the ones which hold the two sleeves which go around the
mast. I have used NoAlox on those and the problem has never repeated.
