I'm replacing my OEM wheel and axle nuts with some nice billet pieces.  Have a question though; in my workshop manual, it says to grease the threads and then torque to spec.  What kind of grease should I be using?  Thanks.

The start of the manual should have a table that tells you the various goops. I'm betting there's a number by that recommendation in the manual? That number should go with some item on that table
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

My dealer recommended anti-seize?  Any thoughts?

That would work well too.

The important thing is that the threads move smoothly against each other when torquing things down.  Just about any oil or grease will do an adequate job to properly tighten things up.
