As long as you torque the damned things down, you should NEVER have a problem with backing out.

if you mean an actual TQ spec, do you know how hard it is to get just a normal wrench in there let alone a TQ wrench to get a reading

anti sieze is good put some muscle into turning them and you really shouldnt have a problem (just use a gentle hand when doing it and you shouldnt break anything)

No I don't mean to spec, but Like you said, Put a little muscle into it, and you should'nt ever have a problem.
