CL Nut Lube/Maintenance
I followed the new TSB for lube and torque of GT3.2 CL nuts yesterday. It wasn't as bad as I thought. Only took a couple of hours, but that included cleaning the wheel wells, and checking suspension components and brakes while I was at it.
There is a press fit circlip that holds the conical washer in the nut assembly. You have to rotate the washer until you can see the gap of the circlip, then use a small screwdriver to pop out the washer. There seemed to be a decent amount of lube inside the washer/nut interface, however the threads of the nut needed to be lubed. I have had the wheels on and off several times though.
Anyway, glad i took the time to do the maintenance and apply the new torque settings. The 444 lb/ft tightening wasn't any more difficult than the 377 lb/ft spec. I guess in for a penny in for a pound when you are at those values.

Thanks for posting 
If you accidentally drop the nut it falls apart also and it just clicks together once you push the wire ring (Clip?) in. I just ordered an extra nut and center cap as backup.
Where do I order a tube of that paste?
I guess I better pre-grease it, so I have it ready to go.

You can order the paste through your dealer. PN# 000.043.020.00. It is/was in stock in Atlanta so I had it in 2 days.
What I found interesting was that the dealer didn't have it on hand. I was speaking with the mechanic about while I was there and he had the parts department order a tube for the shop.
