Grease the rear axle?

Sorry if it's been covered or a dumb question, but, no grease needed on the rear axle? Clymer's doesn't call for any.
Tx.

I find a light wipe of Anti-Sieze to be the best.

I wipe a small coating of grease. Just enough to help the axle slide in, and to prevent the axle from rusting.

Thanks guys. I've always put a light coat of grease anytime I reinstall the wheel. Just wanted to check.

I’m in the anti-seize camp too.
