Hi Bob,
Here=E2=80=99s my best 2 pieces of advice.=20
1. Always put the spinner back on the hub as soon as you remove the wheel, a=
nd you=E2=80=99ll avoid circular grease stains on the front of your shirt, a=
nd
2. Clean the splined hub, spinner and the wheel.=20
Apply a thin smear of grease to the 4 tapered faces. Apply some grease to th=
e internal splined section of the wheel (not to the exposed splines on the h=
ub!)
Then, when you push the wheel back onto the splined hub, any excess grease i=
s pushed out to the spinner end, where you can easily wipe it off.=20
Your Healey will like you, because you won=E2=80=99t have a heap of grease d=
ripping down the spokes on the inside of the wheel, and your wife will like y=
ou, because your shirts stay clean. =F0=9F=98=82
Best

I struggled with this quandry for years (partly because I got tired
of having all my work clothes having a circular stain on them). As=
noted, anti-seize is intended for and most useful for threads where
grease would get cooked off, like spark plugs; it's not intended to
be a good lubricant, even though, like most greases, it's oil with a
thickener (moly, lithium, etc.). I believe even the best splined
hubs will have a teensy bit of ratchet-like movement, and since the
hubs don't get all that hot grease would be the better lubricant. I=
usually use wheel bearing grease, as it's thicker, designed for warm
applications and persistent.<br>
