The bolts should have just a small drop of oil. If the bolts are lubricated too much then the torque spec will be wrong and the bolts will be too tight. The inner edge of the steel wheel is an ok location for anti-seize, but on the 9-5 it is also an advantage to put anti-seize on the part of the hub that protrudes out of the rim. This part sticks out more than it did on the 9000 and if it rusts it will be harder to remove the wheel. > > The surface between the rim and hub should be clean and dry. > > The surface on the central part of the hub, the part that protrudes > > through the center of the rim, should have anti-seize on it to prevent > > the rim from getting stuck. > > I think we're both saying the same thing? Probably, but it doesn't hurt to be very explicit. -- G–ran Larsson http://www.nospam.com/saab/
