There is a very close fit on the wheels between the hub of the brake drum/rotor and the wheel itself. Im thinking if you put anti seize on this spot there woudnt be a problem. Put it on the hub and on the wheel.

I see you live where theres a lot of salt/snow on the roads in winter. Thats the problem.

Good luck and tell us what happens!

I'll give that a shot next time. It'll be a while before I'll know though. One other thing, I was thinking of opening the center hole of the wheel a bit also.

If you do open the hole just file a little. I think the close fit is to ensure concentricity.

No one else does that though, in my experience.
