    Lube on wheel stud/bolt threads.

    So, are you putting the neversieze on the threads, or on the taper where the nut seats in the rim, or in the case of lo-boy rims, on the flat that meets the clamp? I just put some new clamps on a low-boy installation, and the difference in number of turns between old unplated and new plated...
