Might be overkill in WA. But hub/rotor faces and wheel innards will be getting it back in upper MI, the land where plastic rusts.

Oh yea hub faces are a definite yes. Especially with aluminum wheels.Might be overkill in WA. But hub/rotor faces and wheel innards will be getting it back in upper MI, the land where plastic rusts.
One of these things is on my list of tools I want but don’t necessarily need.fresh lugs and perfectly clean threads is probably the correct move.

I believe they are. They have an actual abrasive disc and the hollow adapter allows it to slide over the stud. It’ll clean the stud and the base of it.That any more effective than a wire cup brush?
Absolutely not.Do you guys antiseize the threads?
As a former AGE tech, we NEVER anti-seized lug threads. If they're rusty, wire brush them. Make sure the nuts thread all the way on and off by hand. You're done.We're on the same page. Never had a problem with anti-seize on the lug nuts, no
doubt due to the fact that I always do safety-critical stuff by hand, both dissy &
reassembly. (Much like @KansasOBS mentioned in reply #220.)
