I have been useing Anti-Sieze on wheel studs, and many, many other things
for years with
no problems. Note that if you do use it though, the nut will go on farther
for the same amount
of torque. This could be bad in some applications.
It is also great to smear on the back of drum brake hubs, so they do not
weld rust themselves to
the axle.
For roadster aluminum hubs, it works for this purpose, and you can smear
some on the rest of
the outside, and rub it in with a rag, and you have a nice shiny aluminum
drum again...called around
these parts "Carolina Chrome" high heat resistance also!
