Have never seen that. Good to know. Makes sense though. Anti-seize WILL
make it easier for a nut or bolt to back off/out! In the aviation
industry nuts and bolts in critical areas are locked in place by safety
wire!  On my old '68 Loaf, the CV joint bolts were bad to back out. I
finally drilled the heads and safe-tied the things in place with safety
wire ... no more loose bolts.
