Drew and all,
I have changed the subject line to something more akin to the current
discussion.
Have you considered adding a coax switch? Turning to switch to an open
position (or better yet to a dummy load) when the radio is not in use
will provide protection and is a lot easier than removing the connectors.

FWIW, I use NO-OX-ID contact grease on my PL259 connectors. This allows
very tight snugging by hand, no need of wrenching.
During lightning season I frequently connect/disconnect my rig and tuner
cables. The fine film of lube on the connector threads makes a big
difference. Without it? A real PITA, not to mention wear and tear on the
the SO-239's.
