Another Tire Change Question..........
So im gettting ready to change my tires out(06 Heritage) to
whitewalls, the question I have is, In my manual it states
to clean and put antisieze on shaft before reinstalling. Is there
any specific type of antisieze I should use or can I use the kind
that you use on bolts? Im not talking about blue or red loctite either.
Also is it best to take rear off before taking front off first? Any and all info is appreciated.
Thanks Memo

To my knowledge, there is only one type of antiseize. You can obtain a tube at any auto parts store.
As far as tire removal, I don't think that it matters which one comes off first. I remove the rear first. Of the two tires, it is the most complex removal process. I like to get the tough stuff out of the way first.

+1 What he said.
What brand of tire did you get? If it is not a Dunlop then check the manufacture's web site for the proper tire pressure. I run mu Avons at 44.

I use the black moly type. It's to shield the axle so corrosion will not freeze it in the bearings and inner spacer. Sure you could use the same stuff for outboard propeller shafts. I also have a copper type for higher heat applications and the outboard stuff(that is like impossible to wash or even wipe off) Its not to keep the nut from seizing and like you say no loctite since there is a nut retainer. Be sure to torque this application since over torque will crush the inner spacer and pre-load the bearings resulting in bearing failure
