The Jaded Mechanic Podcast :
the lugs go onto dry threads everytime. no exceptions its how its designed to be done. anyone saying otherwise is a hack. lube causes over torque which leads to stretched studs and eventual wheels coming off. I don't immediately assume another shop did it because I know how many people will actually rotate their own tires at home and diyers will do the dumbest things in the name of prevention. especially farmers in your area Frank.

Bush man Dan :
That’s to much but I definitely lube the studs and hub, having a plow truck for years and heavy equipment it makes life easier then rusty junk

Now, as I understand it. On big trucks, it’s a requirement that the wheel nuts be lubricated when installed.

Watched a video today of Never Seize on a nut torque to 100 ft/lbs and it torque it to over 180 ft/lbs!!

we use chalk to keep the rust from seizing the lug nuts !

No grease, they can come loose. If you use a toque wrench, you must change the toque value. No grease.

Absolutely hate it and usually the lug nuts are tight coming off due to stretched threads from over tightening from the grease

You know they had a wheel get stuck on so bad once that they decided to grease the ever living hell out of it to no longer have that problem

You’re right. Grease shouldn’t be used on wheel studs. You should use hair gel. Hair gel is made to hold things in place, to make sure those wheels stay put.

I find some really old techs do this, like it was popular in the 70s maybe?

I used anti seize once, I paid dearly for it. I ended up over torque them, long story short I had to replace studs. so much like grease.

James Lebrun :
I’d say that normally changing the rotor dosnt always come off nicely. Maybe greased the new rotor so it comes off easier. Grease squeezed out stud holes.

I will fail that on a safety, because you can't get a proper torque on the nuts.

Motor oil if studs are a little rusty. Or fluid film. Never grease.

Sorry but if you live where I am if you want to get that off it’s grease or anti seize. Not to rub it in The Bahamas 🇧🇸

Been applying never seize to wheel studs for over 20 years. Never been an issue. Never stretched or snapped a stud from over torquing. I’ve never used grease.

I like a bit of clear electrical grease on the hub bore of wheels since it disperses water to avoid corrosion . but only on the hub bore. the hubs and studs spray painted in copper drive me crazy
