I don't see any evidence of Zinc in the ingredients. Aluminum (but not OXIDE, rather HYDROXIDE) and Magnesium, yes, but no Zinc If you want Zinc, you're probably better off with a cold galvanize spray before assembly.

Mylanta Tonight has the zinc , the grey Anti Seize has the galvo properties like cold galvo its just gets every where though good stuff but a mess to use , 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn't seem to have the Aluminum Hydroxide either but does have Calcium Carbonate. I think I'll just stick with regular Anti-Sieze instead of Anti-Acid, thank you!

It's a pita to get my meat fingers in beside the hub flange so I thread the nut on the set screw, then use the socket with an extension to hold the screw and my hand can be up away from the area. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 8,720 #47 Posted January 12, 2022 @Pullstart agree with you on the added nut first , thats an obvious step up on that lock down , another thing is that using a 6 pt box wrench , on the flat horizontal pull , is the strength you want , mechanical advantage. also 8 pt sockets , work on those 4 pt , bolts . agree with the anti seize . when you are dealing with a long setting thread area , using a BOTTOM TAP AND PENETRATING OIL , will clean out rust and finish threading. if you are not cleaning out the thread bore , you could be piling up rust / scale preventing bolt from doing its job, don't ask me how I know this .pete 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
