I struggled with this quandry for years (partly because I got tired
of having all my work clothes having a circular stain on them). As
noted, anti-seize is intended for and most useful for threads where
grease would get cooked off, like spark plugs; it's not intended to
be a good lubricant, even though, like most greases, it's oil with a
thickener (moly, lithium, etc.). I believe even the best splined
hubs will have a teensy bit of ratchet-like movement, and since the
hubs don't get all that hot grease would be the better lubricant. I
usually use wheel bearing grease, as it's thicker, designed for warm
applications and persistent.<br>

this could turn into an all familiar thread on oils
however lets just go back to what every factory
