FYI: Make sure you can remove your wheels

[johnrando]

Yeah, I put anti-seize on them this time.

Next time that happens and you are kicking it to get the wheel off make sure you leave one lug tightened a couple turns. That will catch the wheel for you when it finally, and often suddenly, breaks free.

LOL, Is that an "ask me how I know?"

EDIT: BTW, one way I got mine off was to jack the car up with the bolts loosened, and ever so gently lower the car, the off angle of the wheel touching the ground was just enough to break it loose.

Recommend you avoid grease in this application, and be very sparing on the anti-seize, hi temp if you can get your hands on it. Heat from the brakes will flow the grease right out and onto your rotors. Not desirable. Perhaps as a very thin film only - but even then I'd still recommend against it.

I was waiting for someone to recommend backing the lugs off a few turns and taking a quick spin around the block. Should loosen em right up

I hate to bump an old thread but it's related so I guess it's better than starting a new one. When you guys apply anti-seize to your hubs are you just applying it to the outside of the centering ring or on the whole hub? I've read that applying to the whole hub isn't advisable and the ring seems to be the issue most of the time. Sorry if it's kind of a stupid question but I just can't seem to find an answer and I like to try to make sure I get things right. Thanks!

Yes. A light coat around the ring.

I did the whole face. Thin as possible just to keep it from bonding. I've had no issues.

Yup. Master tech I'm friendly with at work recommends copper based grease. Use it on the face of the hub. I also remove corrosion from the lug nuts and apply some grease there as well. Myths based around grease changing the torque rating when tightening down are exactly that.... myths.
