Had a couple massively overtightened wheels on a c900 because someone used antisieze + wailed on the wheel bolts... after bending a few tire irons (augmented with a big pipe) I took it to a tire shop, where 2 professionals who do this every day spent the better part of an hour cracking the bolts loose. (I now own a massive breaker bar myself because similar situations have happened a few times when I didn't set the torque on the bolts myself and I hate to be unable to solve problems on my own)...
Anyway, I agree on the antisieze on the other surfaces - especially if one uses steel wheels... I hate salt. I am still waiting to pull the summer car out of the garage... maybe this weekend!
