I had to get a magnetic plug wrench. A normal one wouldn't go on the plugs.

You want to crush the bands, but not strip the threads. Get them tight, then give it another 1/4 turn.

Torque : 133 lb.in (15 Nm). I tighten to 13Nm, back off, and retighten to 15Nm. The factory calls out Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound/XG-3-A (ESE-M1C171-A), but I never use grease.
