Can I replace these in place a bolt at a time with new ones or is there two
much downward force, especially on the lower sections. The tower is 90
feet.
A little rusty isn't a big deal. If you're worried about, go ahead and
douse them with cold galvanizing spray paint to retard additional oxidation.
I wouldn't worry about replacing them. The rust just makes them more
difficult to get off. If you take one off, chances are pretty good that the
load
bearing part of the bolt is not rusty.
