Here's a tip.
You can use grease or anti seize - your preference.
But you should grease the WHEEL splines, and the hub and spinner threads, and
lightly wipe all tapered faces with minimal grease.
You DON'T actually grease the splined hub splines themselves.
Try it yourself - here's an experiment.
Grease the splined hub, not the wheel splines. For the sake of your
experiment, fill the valleys of the splined hub with grease. Just to make it
bloody obvious. No grease on the wheel splines.
Push the wheel onto the splined hub, grease lightly your spinner & hub thread
& tapers, and tighten up the wheel with the spinner. Now loosen the spinner,
remove the wheel, and look at the back of the splined hub.
See all that grease at the back of the hub & back of the wheel??????
It ends up in places that do nothing to help your wheels & hubs.
The wheel pushed the grease into the back of the hub/ wheel.
Now test 2.
Degrease everything. Clean & dry. Now pack the WHEEL splines with grease to
the top of the valleys. Grease the splined hub thread & spinner thread, and
lightly grease the tapers.
Now push the wheel on.
This time, the hub pushed the extra/excess grease to the spinner side of the
hub, didn't it??
Now wipe off the excess which was pushed out, put on your spinner & tighten.
No excess grease floating around in your wheel.
Obviously the amount of grease pushed in or out is also dependent on how good
your wheels & hubs are.
Best
