I hate anti-seize, maybe it works just fine for spline hubs, but I find 
it get everywhere, and it doesn't clean off easily, while grease does, 
and the purpose is to prevent the wheel from seizing, grease works OK.

            I am still a little sceptical that something is still not
            quite right.  No matter whether it was a Triumph, MG,
            Healey, Jag, Morgan or anything else I have had the joy to
            work on, I have, after cleaning the splines and threads (hub
            and knock-off), and coating with an anti-seize compound,
             always been able to tighten the knock-offs <u>by hand or
              with a few light taps</u> with a hammer to be able to
            eliminate all play between the wheel and the hub.  When I am
            convinced it is all seated properly, then I will give a few
            substantial whacks with a copper or hide-faced hammer to
            tighten it up.  Driving will tighten them the rest of the
            way.  You should not need to wail on the knock-off to
            eliminate the play.  Given how critical a safety issue this
            is, I would be inclined to disassemble it and fully
            investigate the fit of everything.  Perhaps it is just tight
            threads â?? try removing the wheel and threading the knock-off
            on â?? it should go all the way on by hand.  If it doesnâ??t,
            there is your issue.  That should be rectified because if 
            the threads are not a good match, the tight threads may
            prevent the knock-off from self-tightening.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
