I'm not sure if anti-seize on that taper is a good idea or not ... the
factory manuals seem to be divided on the subject with some recommending
grease and some saying to leave it dry. (The splines of course should
definitely be lubricated.) I'm pretty certain the 'front' taper, where the
nut seats against the wheel, should not be lubricated.
In any case, it's not a locking taper (angle is too steep), so my previous
rant doesn't apply. I think.
