I used anti-seize on the inner part of the wheel carrier that receives the bearing and a little on inside of the wheel bearing before pressing the hub in. Although the fronts were very easy to press the hub, much easier than the backs for some reason.


One thing not discussed so far, when you pull the hub it often destroys the wheel bearing and leaves one half of the inner race on the hub. A loaner tool 3 jaw puller plus some sort of plate to fit on the hub for the nose of the puller to push against (you can get from a loner tool set as well, I got mine from a Honda kit for something but they also had a set of bearing race plates) can be used to pull the inner race off the hub after pulling the hub, assuming that the wheel bearing doesn't stay intact, which it sometimes does on the fronts.
