another yes to cleat screws
Again: Everthing on the bicycle should be preped with some some of assembly paste or lube. Important is, however, to first clean and degrease to remove all oils before applying the paste or lube and use a product that is suitable for the application and materials. The only things that demand "dry assembly" are those components already prepared with lubricant for assembly-- typically a kind of Loctite. Speedplay cleat screws spring to my mind as a common example-- the "blue stuff" one sees on the screws.

another yes to cleat screws - bought some Sidi's off here that the cleats were rusted solid into. Amazingly, the last place after a long list of LBS that couldn't remove it.....was Evans. Thank you Evans.
