If you notice when you take the original bolts out they have a thread sealant (locktite) on them. I would highly recommend cleaning the bolts up on a wire wheel, loctite them and torque them to the manufactures spec. Depending on what type of locktite you use will determine how hard they are to remove later. Red locktite is considered permanent (or really, really tough to remove), blue is for bolts you want to be able to remove. Over torqueing the bolts puts undo stress on the bolts and make them more prone to snapping under load.
