The mid-frame post is going to have to come off, I tried and was unable to do it without at least removing the lower bolt and swinging it out of the way. Suggest complete removal. I had already removed the oil tank, so I don't know for sure if the others can be done without taking the tank out, pretty tight in there. I used a ball end Allen wrench for the lifter blocks. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't use anti-seize on any of them. Loctite unless you want to find them loose miles down the road.

Blue Loctite. If they are stainless and you are one of those that put a torque wrench on everything then I believe the torque is different for stainless fasteners. Probably lower.
