OK to lube wheel bolt cones?
Recently I had to unbolt some wheels on my 2000 S and I had a tough time. I don't think the actual torque was excessive but there seemed to be a lot of friction at the spinning cone part of the bolt. I couldn't really tell if was the cone-to-wheel contact or the cone-to-bolt head. I want to lube this area on all the wheel bolts but I thought I better check first. Somewhere I remember reading that antiseize on wheel bolt threads was wrong and that they are supposed to be dry. What about the cone area?
