Lubricating Wheel hubs

Lubricating the wheel hub will not cause any damage to your car.  You 
may even be able to pull the wheel off when you are on the side of the 
road with a flat tire.  I don't know about anywhere else but in the 
northeast we sometimes have a problem in the winter of the alloy wheels 
almost "welding" themselves to the hub.  When this hapens you can take 
off all the lugs and still cannot budge the wheel.  I use a little 
never-seize between the wheel and hub mating surface before I put the 
wheel on and torque it down (factory setting of course).  This trick 
seems to work well as long as you don't drive too many miles before 
rotating/ removing the wheels again.

Just trying not to mis-inform.
