Anti on the lug nuts?!!!!!!!!! HELL NO!!!!!



WHY? There is nothing wrong with lock seize on lug nuts.



The problem isn't about getting the lugs off, tehy come off fine. The lug nuts don't need to be "locked" on. They are snug enough by hand. Putting anti-seeze on them will be pretty much useless in these situtation. Anit seize could acutally hinder the lugs from being torqued enough. (It says it on the tube of anti sieze I have right here. )



I would not use that stuff on the wheel lugs. C'mon guys have some since. What happens if they wiggle off one day while driving down the road? Just clean them and put them back on. Just be sure to torque them tight, but don't over do it a the same time. I've got enough man power to strip and bust the lugs. So I don't normally have a problem getting them off. All you will see is me pushing the car up and down like a toy until it pops off. All those years in the gym were good for something I guess? LOL

*OffTopic* having muscle has its problems. Just last week I did some digging and removed a tree stump by hand with saw and shovel. Feeling manly I dragged the stump to the corner of the road for the trash guys to pick up. Then on Wed my wife said, "they tried to pick it up but it was too heavy." So I said, "that's fine all just stick it in the trashcan." So I picked it up and walked to the backyard and by hand cut it in half with a saw. Then I got this idea to make art out of it and one thing leads to another. It's now a cool looking bench stool in the backyard waiting for none rainy day to stain and paint. The other half is in the trash.
