Been doing it for years with no problems. They won't come loose if torqued properly. I use anti-seize (at least a little bit) any time I'm putting a bolt in something with two different metal types, because they always corrode otherwise. Can't tell you how many times I've had problems with people brakes because of steel bleeder screws stuck in aluminum calipers. They should put anti-seize on those damn things from the factory!

It's the first thing I do on a new car.

Oh yay...more fun.

Had the brakes replaced yesterday. The slider pin on the right side front caliper bracket got dried out, and stuck. Not seized as I first thought. Cleaned up, polished and greased up, and worked just fine. New pads and rotors, check...

Now the brake booster has sprung a leak. Awesome.

Basically this: The car is off, pedal pumps up, gets hard. Turn the car on, you can HEAR the air rushing out, and the pedal drops to the floor. While annoying, unlike driving the car with pads metal to metal, it is driveable, and will stop. I just have no power brakes. Old school! Yay!

Might just need to replace the vacuum check valve and/or the rubber grommet. That's the thing the hose connects to right there at the booster. Might have gotten dried out/cracked from heat and age.
