Hi,

I smell an impact wrench here...

You should try slacking the bolts off and then getting the weight on the
wheels and then torqueing the nuts to spec.

The bolts are probably binding on the brackets.

If you want to pull the bolts out to "grease" them, you can do it one at a
time, but some gymnastics are required. I use anti-sieze, not grease for
the bolts. 40k miles and  7 years, no squeaks yet!
