Unit bearing studs, Loctite or antiseize?
About to put my new unit bearing on and I was wondering which way to go here.
It took me two hours to get one stud out of the old one so I gave up and bought studs

I didn't put any kind of thread lock or anti-seize on mine. They were so locked in I didn't think that they would need it.
However, a little bit of BLUE Locktite probably wouldn't hurt either... especially if you are going to buy new studs next time they need to be replaced in 80K or whenever that is.

Anti seize all the way. I have changed a ton of these. Never had loose studs. Just really rusted in ones. Have had to torch heat quite a few to get them out. The TIMKEN replacement bearings I have been getting comes with new studs.
