To ease re-assembly of chassis and to prevent partial
cross-threading and binding of hardware (like chassis bolts) use a
drop of light penetrating oil (e.g. Liquid Wrench) on the threads
immediately prior to re-assembly.  Don\'t buy anything exotic.  The
cheap "Tradco" stuff you can pick up occasionally at Value Village
is more than adequate.

Don\'t make a big ol\' mess with the stuff, just use a drop.  After a
couple hours, most of the light oil evaporates leaving just a trace
to remain on the threads which will slow corrosion.

The above tech tip may sound like an insignificant bit of advice,
but I promise that if you keep the can-o-lube handy, and learn to
use it, you\'ll be surprized how much straighter, screws and bolts
start-in without the tendency to cross-thread and bind.
