I wouldn't have expected _any_ text to assume lubrication - I was always
taught it was the great no-no.  There was a case a few years ago of a
bus garage manager being charged with manslaughter for putting
anti-seize on wheel nuts.

There are two places on Audis to use anti-seize - on the inner walls of
brake discs so they don't rust to the hubs, and on the end of the
handbrake Bowden cable jacket where it sits against the caliper.

Large bolts are routinely thrown in the degreaser in our workshop.  It's
actually not a good idea to stand too near it at times.
