Hi Rob, just rub a little coolant on them to lube them up

Don't use sealant. either coolant or a smear of washing up liquid is fine to help them seat.

Or a smear of silicone grease, not sealant and replace the screw with a socket head.

Datatek..irishrover..rodntod,,,, cheers guys ive got a 30mm allen key bolt and the O rings and cleaned the pipes up etc all ready to reassemble later today just wondered about the lubrication lol...

Tell you what though getting the screw out what a job the head of that screw is soft as hell made of alloy hah ha never mind tiny turn left and right and wd40 and 2 hours later it was out touch and go like as the head was wearing right off, glad i had some good snap on screwdrivers like....

hey ho nowt is simple on these range rovers is it...

O rings done bit of a balls ache but done now better not bloody leak though if it do get it fired up.....
