Stuck wheel on hub
 

Has anyone used anything other than anti-seize on the wheel hub ? I had a very hard time removing my back wheels yesterday to replace brake pads/rotors. I had used anti-seize last time i cleaned inside of my wheels before winter but it seems anti-seize made it get stuck on the hub further. I noticed on my e39 that was serviced by dealer that the hub has grease like matter instead.
I have finished the brake job and did not put anti-seize but still pondering whether i should use it. Thinking about using the brake grease also.

All replies appreciated.

Just torq the bolts to 101LB ~ 140NM :cool:

it doesnt matter what you torque them to if the hup is rusted or the rim is oxidised it fuses to together. Ive used both and a light film of greese around the hub and where the back of the rim meet works the best.

Just use some universal heavy duty grease.

I've always torqued to right specs but that doesn't stop the hub from rusting and that's what seizes the wheel. Anti-seize is supposed to prevent that with disimilar metals but apparently does not when exposed to elements.

I think i'll follow grease suggestions.

No xpert, but I use a thin film of moly grease stuff, I got from the m'cycle joint.
Have never had much luck with 'anti-seize' stuff, esp on something as dissimilar and hot, as the hub/wheel interface gets.
