I hate anti-seize, maybe it works just fine for spline hubs, but I find
it get everywhere, and it doesn't clean off easily, while grease does,
and the purpose is to prevent the wheel from seizing, grease works OK.

style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Mike,
I am still a little sceptical that something is still not
quite right. No matter whether it was a Triumph, MG,
Healey, Jag, Morgan or anything else I have had the joy to
work on, I have, after cleaning the splines and threads (hub
and knock-off), and coating with an anti-seize compound,
 always been able to tighten the knock-offs <u>by hand or
with a few light taps</u> with a hammer to be able to
eliminate all play between the wheel and the hub. When I am
convinced it is all seated properly, then I will give a few
substantial whacks with a copper or hide-faced hammer to
tighten it up. Driving will tighten them the rest of the
way. You should not need to wail on the knock-off to
eliminate the play. Given how critical a safety issue this
is, I would be inclined to disassemble it and fully
investigate the fit of everything. Perhaps it is just tight
threads â?? try removing the wheel and threading the knock-off
on â?? it should go all the way on by hand. If it doesnâ??t,
there is your issue. That should be rectified because ifÂ
the threads are not a good match, the tight threads may
prevent the knock-off from self-tightening.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
