How To Prevent Wheel Stud Surface Rust?

[TM7GTR]

Just wondering if anyone knows how to manage and prevent a build up of surface rust on wheel studs (due to running open ended lug nuts)?

It makes life difficult trying to get the bastards on and off at times as it builds up.

Anti seize is great stuff. You get a tiny dollop of it on your finger and by the time your finished you are somehow covered from head to foot in the sht. Amazing stuff.

I had the same problem as all of my Skylines run open end nuts and it is a pain when the studs start to rust up.

I have been using Penrite Copper Eze now for years with no problems at all - and yes like others have said I always have a rage handy after a wheel change because some of this stuff will be on something and need wiping off.

Alright sounds like a plan. I would have thought a lubricant like loctite would be something to avoid though as it would give an innacurate torque when putting the wheel nuts back on?

If anything, it will be more accurate.
