No reason at all.... You won't find anti-seize in the official factory
manual because it wasn't around when the manual was written. The only
proviso I would offer in this regard is to avoid anti-seize on mating
surfaces which should be in firm, rigid contact with each other. In
other words, don't smear it on the outside surface of a bearing race
which is meant to sit firmly in the hub. The stuff is meant to stay
slick, and every opportunity you give something like a race to spin, it
will. <g>
Cheers.
