Listers,
I am requesting advice from the well versed among the list.  My TR6 is 
blocked in by my son's Jeep Wrangler, which is immobile until I complete some 
brake work (the minimal LBC content).  I have found that removal of the lug 
nuts is an extreme chore.  As 17-year olds and Jeep Wranglers seem naturally 
attracted to water and mud, there is ample opportunity for conditions that 
inhibit easy removal of the lug nuts.  In my case, it took a cheater bar and 
all 230 pounds of my weight on the bar to break the nuts loose.  There is no 
way that my son could do this on (or off) the road.  My question is whether 
it is safe to coat the studs with anti-seize or some other compound to 
prevent the reoccurrence of this problem.  Please respond off-list to 
preserve bandwidth.  As always, thank you for your assistance to your less 
capable brethren.
