Re: Nevr-Seize on lugnuts

[Raldel@xxxxxxx]

   When torquing a nut and using anti-seize, or any other lubricant, the 
torque setting should actually be REDUCED. There are tables that specify just 
how much to reduce the torque. In fact, lubing a nut can affect the torque 
value by 30%. If you torque to the high end after lubing, you risk ringing 
off the bolt or stud.

torque to the high end of the range to account for the never-seize, but
have you seen failures due to the use of never-seize?  Or, if it's not
used, how do you typically remove the frozen ones
