Copper anti-seize on outer drive shaft?

[Jason]

I'm replacing the drivers side rear wheel bearing, and as I'm talking things apart I noticed there appears to be copper anti-seize between the outer drive shaft and the hub. When I did passenger side the outer drive shaft was dry.

Should I put copper anti-seize on the outer drive shaft when I reassemble things? On the passenger side I did have a lot of trouble getting the hub pressed on straight, and managed to ruin the original hub in the attempt.

A partial answer to my own question. I dug through my old service paperwork and that wheel bearing was last changed at P.J. Grady. So if Rob used copper anti-seize it's probably the right thing to do.
