Unscrewing rail screws in a 1993 Montauk

Someone told me that if you can, do the work without unscrewing. That way, screw sealing and torque (ing) issues would be avoided. I was planning to reseal the screws after cleaning, polishing and waxing. By the way, there are no current issues with any kind of moisture problems. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance. Ronald Mazcko
