Anti-sieze compound is the way to go. I have been using Permatex (same can) for 20+ years and I put it on anything I screw together on my cars. Always works great - especially on lug nuts and spark plugs. |

Heh, I've had the same small can of Never Seez (IIRC) for about 30. It's like Brylcream - a little dab'll do ya. http://www.anti-seizecompounds.com/ |

That being said, I also am a fan of lubing wheel studs but in the forty plus years that I've been fiddlin' with cars, I just use cup grease... -- JT Just tooling through cyberspace in my ancient G4 |

Finally stopped by the tire place and they wouldn't take "NO" for an answer
in claiming that they are responsible and want to send it down the street to get a new lug put in. With +140k miles on the car I thought it unreasonable to blame them for the bolt snapping... it may have been weakened before then... but they had overtightened it or cross threaded it, that is for certain.
