Blue loctite on axle nut

[Herculean T4R]

A few questions...

I am in the process of replacing passenger side cv half shaft and was wondering if I need to apply blue loctite on axle nut? I will torque down the nut to right spec using a torque wrench.

Do I need to use any special grease on cv axle splines or can I use regular grease?

Can I apply a bit of anti sieze on the edges of the dust cap so next time it comes off with little effort?

Thanks

No on the loctite, yes on the antiseize. I don't use grease on my splines.

Nope, just use the lock ring and cotter pin.

MP grease is fine

Yes, that's a good idea

Regular grease on the splines and I always put anti seize on mating surfaces just so I have one less thing to fight with down the road.
