If you use an anti-seize lubricant on them, it will never happen. Stainless Steel will gall very easily if dry. Almost any waterproof grease or anti-seize on the threads will prevent this galling and

Torque wrenches can take the human "feel" error out of the equation, but most people will not go through the extra effort to use one. Actually Stainless Steel falls in an area between Grade 5 and Gra
