When i removed the forks they were hard to remove so should i put antiseize on it before reasembly?

I woulnt-the forks are hard to remove as the triple clamps are machined slightly small.I just put a wide blade screwdriver between the clamps to open them slightly-warning when you do this the forks tend to slide out fast, hit the floor then fall into the rads.

Do as Marcus said then clean the inner bores of the triple clamps,top and bottom, to get them back to alum. color. Use 400 or higher grit wet and dry sandpaper,also scotch pads will work. Clean the forks where they go into the clamps with the pads. Use anti-sieze on the clamp bolts, top and bottom, and axle pinch bolts.
