I've always used anti-seize on all of my bikes axels for years, never had any problems. The service manual for a grom mentions grease, other manufacturers call for anti seize. Either way, dont put em back dry.
I'll be honest, I've never looked at anti-sieze products (and if I did, I didn't know they were "anti sieze"). Looking at their general description, yeah, it sounds like they would work, even though it looks like they're designed for more tight or clamped assemblies. They seem to share a lot of their properties with grease so, yeah, maybe they're a good alternative. Thanks for sharing your experience!
You can look up "grom rear wheel axle diagram", there should be plenty of photos out there. I personally take a picture before. Helps me put things back in the right order. Definitely beats a mental picture. :)
I think you're supposed to apply a thin layer of grease every time you remove the wheels. In my case, I did it twice in 25000 km (15K miles). The first time I did it, the axles were bone dry.

Great video, very well presented. Cheers. 👍
Thanks for that!
No rear axle diagram, only front?

What are the measurements of those blocks u put the bike on?
Those are 8 x 8 cm beams. One side of the L is 24.5 cm, the other is 17.5. The smaller side sits on the ground.
When or how often do you need to do this? How many miles are on your grom?
