Not just for fun, only when something needs doing and then future proofing the whole lot. And not replacing everything, just ensuring that when the time comes it's actually relatively painless to do 'cus stuff comes undone etc.

Thoughts?

Generally all those can be done it situ and to a point is better done in situ as the strut is held firm.

Perhaps loosening them all of each year should be on the maintenance schedule for the keep.
