Manual says a little anti sieze but some say grease, what say you?

 

Doesn't really matter. a good quality grease or Never Seize will work. I personally use Never Seize because I like finding it on everything I touch for months afterwards.

 

Anti seize, I put that **** on everything

 

intended or not

 

Grease, as OZ never gave nothing to the Tin Man. Antiseize is highly contagious.

 

Grease. That's one of the things the manual says that I choose to do differently.

I believe the manual says anti-seize because (I think) it also says when you see grease on your axle, you know your bearing seal is gone & it's time to replace the bearings.

I believe that keeping the bearing seals greasy prolongs the life of the seals too...

 

 

Anti-Sieze

 

I have used the permatex silver that seems to get everywhere but the axles on my bikes show no signs of rust and come out very easy when I want them to.

It's also worth getting the internal spacer out and coating both sides of that.

 

You missed copper, aluminum, zinc, ceramic, or molybdenum based anti-seize and that's not all of them.

Might be a good idea to use what's best. For garage queens and sunny day cruises, doesn't matter..

As required now ...Caution AI

Anti-seize is a specialized compound designed to prevent static parts (like bolts) from fusing due to high heat, pressure, or corrosion, where as grease is a lubricant designed for moving parts to reduce friction.

Anti-seize uses solid metal particles (copper, nickel, aluminum, zinc) to protect, while grease uses oil and thickeners to lubricate.

Probably the best is a Marine Grade Anti-Seize due to moisture and road salt.

Propeller anti-seize. It's so sticky, it takes turpentine or lacquer thinner to get off your hands.
