Wheel hub re-assembly

[Cousin Clyde]

Anyone ever put a little bit of anti seize around the mating surface before putting it back into the knuckle?

You bet! I have done it with every Jeep I have owned. The next guy will thank you, especially if you happen to be the next guy that goes back in.

Yep. Every time. Much easier the next time you take it off. And there will be a next time.

For sure. They are a pain to pull off on the trail to remove axle shafts after blowing a front ring gear when they are all rusty. Ask me how I know.

Seems to have the most rust as opposed to any other part around it during removal.

As mentioned by others, every, fucking, time. I usually take a wire wheel to the inside of the knuckle as well to remove any dirt and rust that has built up in there as well as extra measure.
