I don't lube the splines with grease, I prefer graphite spray. Nor do I lube the bolt threads, then remove/clean/apply locktite. I just give them a squirt of brake cleaner, along with the threaded holes, apply red locktite, and snug them evenly. Then get the torque wrench.

TRULARIN, I hope you didn't use 5/16" bolts torqued to 50 pounds on a windsor pressure plate, they take a metric bolt (m8 ?) torqued to half that value.
