I'll remove the wheels this weekend and check on the retaining screw that is holding the hub. If anything is going to shear first it will be that little guy.

Also that TSB you posted is only for the hub/wheel surfaces. Says nothing about the HUB/Bearing surface (which is where the factory anti-seize is at).
I don't understand what bearing surface you're referring to.

Yeah, that's a good point. And I've done the same on my daughter's car, which still has steel wheels, for the same reason.
