put never sieze on the threads if it is the lug nuts your talking about... Also use a torque wrench when installing....

This! Anti seize is great, just NEVER get it on your hands.

Do you mean nuts won't come off the studs or rim wont come off of the hub when nuts are removed? If it were me i would get a steel brush and clean the threads of instead of anti seize.

Had this problem on my 2004, ended up using the longest breaker bar ever. I assume you mean the lugs. I actually cleaned the threads and used anti seize
