Oiled 45 FTP no oil 55 FTP.  Makes a difference to if the bolts are plated or not.  If plated then go on to 55 with out oil.  That's where I put mine to just before vacation.

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

Of corse you want to work them down UP to that.  AKA  start with about 30 and work up.

No loc-y tite that will change the tq value. At 50 to 55 they will not come out.

When using loctite remember that it is not a lubricant. Most times it should be torqued to same as a dry thread when using loctite.

Believe me I'm considering the safety wire but loctite will be nearly impossible to do properly. I can't see any way to avoid getting grease on the threads while assembling especially the midboard side. loctite + grease=no stickum.
