I bought myself some synthetic grease at Autozone. It's in a tube that I bought for $4-5. I use it on EVERY SINGLE BOLT/NUT that I take out of the car. I probably have only used 1/10th of the tube. Just a little even dab of grease on the bolt is all you need. It just saves time later on when you're trying to loosen something. It' just works for me

PB Blaster + Breaker bar if you don't have air tools. If you have air tools, just go ahead with the impact wrench
