I got my stash of anti-seize from an aircraft mechanic - it's almost
mandatory on spark plugs going into aluminum cylinder heads! I've used
it on all my spark plugs since the mid '60s - aircraft and auto - with
not one problem, and probably have prevented lots of head work.

Then you could treat yourself to a nice soothing nail bed treament with the
excess.
Seriously though, I do cringe at having to stand and jump on the wrench to
bust loose lugs. There is that split second when you hear the crack and feel
it give way and you don't know whether it's loosened or you've

You should never use anti-seize or any other lubricant on lug nuts. The torque
spec is for dry lug nuts.
Also, it's likely that they were torqued to spec. lug nuts almpst always take
more torque to loosen than to tighten.
