Message	Hey guys one of my rear caliper bolts fell out and the other was backed out half way. I installed my calipers using anti seize and torqued to 40lbs (manual is 28-38ft lbs). Any chance the anti seize may have been a bad idea?? This was only on one side. Checked all other calipers and they were fine and I'm positive I tightened all properly.
