Default Axle Nut-Anti-Seize?

So I just finished replacing the boots and repacking my CVs. After coating splines with Optimoly HT and reinstalling the axles, is it recommended to also put anti-seize one the axle nut threads or is it recommended to install dry like the inward 6) bolts.

I will be torquing to the recommended 348 ft lbs.

I know some like to use anti-seize like Frank's Red Hot..." I put that S**T on everything", but was curious what is recommended.

You want some HT anti-sieze on the threads as well. As far as I recall, the manual (and Bentley) mention that as part of re-install process.

Did you also get new nuts? The old ones should not be re-used.
