I've had issues w/ em after auto-x's (heat + different metals = bind), but nothing a swift kick (or 2 or 3) couldn't fix. Anyway, I think the rubber mallet would be a good ideeer, but I've never tried the water thing. Could do the trick!
Hmm. With nothing between the wheel and the hub when the lug nuts are tightened down there will be a tremendous amount of friction on that flat interface and this will take essentially all of the perpendicular load off the bolts holding the wheel on. If a perfect lubricant (no such thing obviously) was smeared across that interface first then those bolts would be taking the entire perpendicular load. Anti-seize is going to fall somewhere in between these extremes. I wonder though if it might act as enough of a lubricant to put a significant strain on the bolts? That might not be a good thing in the long run.
