Especially when you don't torque the bolts all the way. Apparently the 85 ftlbs I guessed that it was is a bit under the actual 101 required.

But nothing was damaged and I've got some home depot bolts in there for now until I can order up some new OEM ones.

I also grinded down the ABS standoffs to 20mm and now the ABS is working properly. I guess the standoffs were just to tall for consistent readings.
