Yup used red locktite. Went out and spent $40 on a smaller torque wrench to appropriately torque them to 24 ft/lbs.

Soaked the nuts and studs in a denatured alcohol bath then hand dried each one. I put a wire brush on the end of my drill and thoroughly cleaned each hole. Then I sprayed each hole thoroughly with da.

Applied locktite 272 to each stud and carefully torqued each one. Then I torqued each nut carefully to 80 ft/lbs as Apex reccomends.

All in all it took around 2 hours in the dark and cold.
