....what the hell is this 'KM' you mention? Damn metrics funny people!

Relevant to the thread, I've used anti-seize on my wheel studs and rotor face since I bought my Jeep. No issue, but much interesting info has been shared here.

I've used it for over three decades, sparingly.
I have yet to kill a busload of nuns, or an elementary school soccer team returning from a championship win.

Use common sense, that's the real key here, if you don't have any, put the damn wrenches down ... You are merely minutes away from running over a single mom with triplets, in the dead of winter.

Ok, I'll weigh in as pro anti-seize. Been using it in very small amounts about every third time I pull the wheels. In the snow belt, the exposed studs tend to take a beating from road salt. The anti-seize just keeps things turning. I also have yet to take out a bus load of nuns.

And when you think of it, where could you take them anyway?

Midnight mass. A little of that communion wine and they loosen up a bit.
