Ah yeah, the pad pins makes a lot more sense - those things are a very small thread and easy to strip plus its easy for them to seize... great combo that
Thought I was doing the right thing using a bit of copper grease and a torque wrench......apparently not.

Its ok to do it, but the torque setting changes when using grease.You should be able to find a calculator online.
I torque bolts and nuts on studs at work up to 900lb and it is mandatory to copper grease them, the torque figures take into account the fact that grease is used and are calculated for us before we start the job.
