I took this wheel off for the first time in a while and there's a bit of rust on the axle threads. I've bought some new wheel nuts because the olds ones had a bit of rust on them (and the axle only has the rust where the nut sits). Should I be putting grease on these threads (or something else)? And should I try to get the rust off the threads with some wire wool or similar? Any suggestions appreciated!
