I'm swapping out the main panel in my house this morning. I think I'm all set, just a couple of questions. Should I clean (wipe down w/ or w/o solvent) the main terminals then reapply anti ox compound? I already bought some and a metal brush, just wanted to make sure it was recommended and if cleaning was necessary first.
Also do I need to our should I replace the grommets/stress relief points or just swap them to the new box?
Last question what can I do about this wire where the insulation cracked? cut it shorter and move that circuit up? Cover it with heat shrink tubing? Leave it as it is? I'm a little worried about the other old cloth covered wires too but not as much. I plan on rewiring most of the home, but need to get this panel swapped by end of month for ins co. a permit had been pulled too so it will have to pass. I appreciate any help I can get!
