So when I went to put my summer wheels back on, I had a hard time loosening the lug bolts on my xc90 even though they were torqued properly. I think it was due do the harsh winter and salt etc.
I was told by a few people to use anti seize on the lug bolts. I know anti seize on the back of the wheel and where it meets the hub is no problem, but I have heard conflicting opinions in regards to anti seize on the threads of the lug bolts, causing it to not be torqued properly.
Just wondering what the Volvo guys here think?

I should also add that I do torque my lugs to about 95lbs and have never had an issue in over 20 years and an equal amount of cars.

I'm a religious user of the stuff but we should really leave religion out of this discussion
