Hom much anti-seize can be used?

[RollTide334]

Like so many other people, when I disassembled my 1998 Max IV it was completely rusted together. It required cutting bearings, flanges and bolts to get it apart. I am slowly putting her back together now. Sand blasted the frame and painted with POR-15 rust preventative paint. I used stainless bolts and nuts to mount bearing flanges. I am trying to protect every part from rust. I coated the sprocket inside with anti-seize. Also applied anti-seize to all bolts / nuts except stainless.

Question is, is it ok to use anti-seize between axles and bearings and between locking collars and axels? Will this compromise the locking system allowing the collars or axles to work loose?

I coat the crap out of my axles!

I coat just about everything that could become an issue.

Use enough to ensure the part will come off next time you need it to, dont be stingy...

ermegawd...use lots, ridiculously lots... and if you can get Marine grade antiseize all the better.

I was gonna' weigh in on this, but it looks like the subject is well covered!

hi ,
Do not use on taper lock sprockets between the bush and sprocket the surfaces must be clean and damage free.
A taper fit is the same
The surfaces rely on friction.
