RE: coating axle prior to reassembly
I am an industrial maintenance mechanic and I have to disagree with the grease being as good as anti seize. Anti seize is the best to put on you axle they use that from the factory for a reason if you have ever had to get a shaft out of a bearing that was not anti seized you would understand where I am coming from on this get anti seize you can get it at most auto parts stores and its worth the few bucks it cost.

RE: coating axle prior to reassembly
i can tell you from my own experience , antiseize! i t took me 5 hrs to get rear axle out to change a tire because i put pulley cover on and didnt use either putting it back together, it was not a pretty picture. i wash my bike a lot and wd 40 the ignition [dash]switch and cycle back and forth to prevent contact corrosion which i encountered also. hope you have good luck. just because wheel rolls on axle dont mean axle will pull out,trust me! ps new axle is 90 bucks at hd, antiseize is 3!and use the whole tube!
