have not found it in TM's yet.. though it may have bit me 5 times and I still don't see it....

What is the torque rating for nuts on WET lug bolts (aka anti seize etc.) when tightening lug nuts? Dry is 400 to 450. but wet? Same question for bolts that hold two piece wheel halves together? Or is this a pooh pooh thing to do for one or both? Would think not but am wrong several times a day at least. (make that an hour)

i've known a lot of tire guys torque the same with antisize as with out. when using the cat manual for replacing heads they. require wet torque with a cat specific lubricant but the manual cautions not to use antisize. It did not say why I would guess its lubricating property's aren't uniform enough. I doubt you are going to do any damage to a 3/4 inch stud by over torqueing it so with anti size I would torque as dry.
