Re: Help: changing a tire

   I was reviewing the manual for my new A6 last night (Audi owners are
   lots of fun) and it specifically says not to do this. My guess is that
   the lugs will work themselves off if they are lubed. I thought it odd
   to that Audi stated this in the manual since I never thought about
   lubing these but now I know why they spell it out!

I wouldn't "lube" it (with grease), but I hope using a good anti-seize
(rust-proofs it) compound is OK.

   When you change a tire, is it advisable to grease or
   otherwise lube the bolts? Those suckers look so dry.
