Antiseize on beadlock bolts?

[JL_Krawler]

Hi all,

just installed a set of KMC machete wheels. Should I put antiseize on the beadlock bolts? Wondering what everyone else does?

thanks

Personally I like to put a little bit on anything I plan on having to loosen. I'd suggest calling the manufacturer and seeing what they say.

I put it on every single one. Why would you want to risk them seized and dealing with that? The shop I got them from, Jeep West, also uses it on all beadlocks they install. A little time now could save you a huge headache later. Think about how much those bolts are going to be exposed to, bolts in much more shielded areas get seized all the time.

You many need to reduce the torque applied to each fastener that uses anti-seize by 25% to account for the lubrication factor.
