Tight as hell, that's all. I've never known this to be an issue. I just have used a 1/2 drive ratchet and got them tight as I could and never had a problem. Maybe someone else has the spec, but I've just never had an issue with as tight as I could with a 1/2in drive ratchet. I don't think I'd go using a breaker bar and get it so tight I stripped out the aluminum although it's not all the delicate with those bigger bolts. It's the 1/4 and 5/16in threads you need to be careful about stripping out.

Yep, I've never hurt either and never had one come loose. They're 5/8 thread, so they grab alot of meat.

No lock washers to be found on mine. A bit of thread locker residue, but that's it.

Well, they come from the factory with lock washers so that means it's been apart before, but Blue Loc-Tite works just as good..
