<div>I’ve found that a tube of antiseize anywhere in the garage wil eventually spread to cover everything else in the garage. It has its uses, but you need to be careful and sparing with it or you will find it everywhere... </div>

<div>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.<br>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Mike, 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 – try removing the wheel and threading the knock-off on – it should go all the way on by hand. If it doesn’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.</span></p>
