Hi folks:

Well, I'm going to attempt to replace the bulb in my old Anthony Model 20 pool light. I've got a new gasket, lens, and bulb from INYOpools. They are technically for a "Model 30" light, but others have said they fit the Model 20.

Anyway, the light has 6-8 brass bolts around the circumference that hold the lens against the gasket. They are old and no spares available. I don't want to strip the brass bolts or nuts.

Do you recommend I use any sort of lube to get the nuts off/on? I worry about using oil based lubes like WD40 as that would get into the pool water.

Other thoughts?
