This little project is all about cosmetics, so no, I don't have to change them all out - only the four chrome acorn nuts that are plainly visible.Originally posted by gsrick View Post+1, one at time should be ok, but if there is no leaking, you really have to get an eyeball down there to see all the others, so do you really need to change them out?

Each of the four chromed acorn NUTS has a copper sealing washer underneath; I'd replace those as well.

Yeah, sorry for the confusion. I probably started that being sloppy with my references. I have the correct OEM acorn NUTS and the copper washers that go underneath them. I have also just ordered the BOLTS that go in the recess between them.Originally posted by bwringer View PostEach of the four chromed acorn NUTS has a copper sealing washer underneath; I'd replace those as well.
