Then if you torque it to the specified 77 ft. If you apply anti seize you alter the thread condition from the specification and significantly reduce the thread friction component of the resistance to torque. and a thread condition - for wheel bolts "clean and dry". So the torque specification has two components: a number in Newton Meters or Ft. The rotary resistance to torque at the wrench is composed of two components: the resistance caused by the pitch of the threads and the resistance caused by thread friction.

The torque specification is provided by the engineers to provide a given level of clamping force without overly stretching the bolt or damaging the threads.
