Do you put anti seize inside the rotors or not?

Emilime75 · 09-13-2018, 06:26 PM

You mean where it makes contact with the hub? I do.

Yeah.

I just did a quick google search and someone mentioned i might F the ABS sensors but I don't think the ABS sensors are located there right?

Emilime75 · 09-13-2018, 07:10 PM

I don't see how. The ABS sensor is on the back side of the hub.

if you do literally a super thin smear.... i see people putting lots on..... where is centrifugal force going to take that grease?????

Dielectric grease works well too......

Nowhere, really. It gets trapped between the hub and inside of the rotor hat... but, I agree, a thin, even coating on the entire mating surface is all it needs.

Yes. Put it on the outside. Don't get it on anything it shouldn't be on and you're fine. I put it on the mating surface between the rotor and hub and on the bolts.

ckanderson · 09-16-2018, 06:05 PM

I do. It helps.

Best avoid lube on the bolts, or you'll likely over-torque them...

Emilime75 · 09-17-2018, 06:39 PM

I've anit-seized every automotive bolt for the past 25+ years. Never once have I had one break or strip, unless it was one that has never been anti-siezed.

I would, unless you like using a mini-sledge to get it off the next tine around. I'd also use anti-seize on the rotor screws or buy SS ones from ECS tuning.
