► Anti-Seize On Wheel Hub
which anti-seize metal is best to lightly coat wheel hub?
nickel aluminum copper i believe using copper is not good as it erodes with aluminum contact?

I've always used Copper. Please note that you need to reduce your torque setting by 20% as lubricated torque specs are always lower than dry (less friction). 95lb ft is a good lubricated torque for modern BMWs M14 1.5.
Oh, DO NOT use any lubrication on the back of the wheel or hub plate. You need the friction there. |

I use the Permatex aluminum one mostly but sometimes the copper one. I believe my BMW dealer uses the Permatex copper.

So I did use the copper stuff on the studs ( I did the conversion) and the back of the wheel/hub plate... I didn't think it made that much of a difference but obviously after doing some research after someone told me it was bad, I realized the mistake. I torqued to 105 and noticed minimal rounding on the stud threads (m14x 1.25). I've since removed as much of the anti seize on the studs, lugs and hub face and everything looked clean but with the residue still in the lug threads, I torqued to 95 ft lbs. Question is: how bad is it? Part of me just wants to buy new studs and new rotors because im neurotic Ps sorry don't mean to hijack the post Last edited by NewF82m4; 06-13-2021 at 10:49 PM.. |
