Hi
Rohn never used lock washer from the factory. The bolts can tight due
to the galvanized They use a keep washer on some things but not tower joints
55/45/25/20 If you have major interference ( pitch dia ) I would put
the bolt head in a vice and run a nut on with you battery drill driver ...

PS I always pre fit a tower on the ground and mark the one side leg.... it
beats wrestling the section in the air !!!
