Thanks for this. I thought about blue Loctite and remember thinking to myself that if they backed out one more time I would do just that. They haven't budged since I hit them with 6nm.

P sure the torque listed by Thomson is dry. Two tiny pinch bolts, wide faceplate, probably enough flex going on to back out nano meters under load, grease won't help that.
Nope. Thomson says to grease the bolts and inside threads.
