Antisieze on the threads i understand. Not sure I understand the underlined phrase - does this refer to

- the wheel facing side of the spinner where the spinner snugs down onto the outer face of the wheel,

or

the mating surfaces between the hub (where the drive pins mount) and the rear contact surface of the wheel?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, i'd rather be dumb than galled, stressed and out of pocket.

He is addressing "the wheel facing side of the spinner where the spinner snugs down onto the outer face of the wheel". I would refer to it as the conical contact face between the wheel and the knockoff.

In addition I apply it to the threads of the hub and a little on the pins to ease engaging the wheel fully on the pins. But the spinner/wheel contact face and the hub threads are the areas most subject to galling when hammering the knock-off on.
