Silence of the Hub

Since NY, and since salt, every brake job gets some antisieze in key locations, caliper pins are always removed cleaned and lubed, tire rotations too... you know what its like getting a flat at 5am in the rain and all the lugs are off but you can't get the rim off?... not fun

+1 on the anti-seize. Make sure to put some on your hub dust covers and the backside of your replacement hub's. The yellow thread adhesive used on the caliper bracket bolts doesn't need to be reapplied unless you heat or remove it to break the bolts loose. Some extra leverage and you may never need to use the adhesive. If you drive through salt or corrosives, pull and lube your caliper pins every 12k miles or annually, so long as the rubber boots remain intact you'll be in good shape.
