The stop/lock nuts on my S1S's lower wing I-strut bolts have a little surface corrosion on them and Id like to replace them with nice looking hardware.

Is it possible to replace those nuts one by one without disrupting the rigging or creating an un-even pressure distribution in any part of the wing since the flying wires will still be taut?

I also plan on replacing the bolt on one of the fuse to wing struts above the fuel tank, not the main bolts but one on a strut that is 45deg to the wing.

And does anyone know off the top of their heads what the tq specs might be on those bolts?

Thanks!
