To make a long story short I had an unpleasant experience hand changing a tire a few days before Christmas. The next day with plugged tire in hand I antiseized and torqued the offending wheel to specifications.
Yesterday I was working on my F-150 and needed a torque value and noticed standard torque values for a dry and lubricated fastener are different.
Is antiseize acceptable for wheels studs?
(I never see tire shops use it.)
Should I still follow OEM torque values after using antiseize on a wheel studs?
Why the difference between dry and lubricated torque values? For example from a John Deere operators manual torque chart an 18 mm class 12.9 fastener calls for 440 N.m lubricated or 560 N.m dry.
What do you use antiseize on?
