Steve,
You have to split them in order to install them, whether it be on an XJ6 or
your BN6. That is the reason there is an external brake line that connects
the two halves. A little oil on the threads won't hurt but, tighten them
exactly as you would any other 3/8th fine thread bolt. You will do no harm if
they are not torqued to any exact specification...... but, like any other
bolt, do not over-tighten them. Do not use locktite....not necessary.....they
will never vibrate loose.

it matter if they're torqued with oil; are they supposed to be locktited; or
do they have to be torqued dry?
