You can remove the Bolts one at a time and make sure the threads are degreased and dry and apply Loctite to the Threads and re-install the Bolts.
Or drill the bolts and use safety wire like they do on critical aircraft components. HF has the safety wire pliers and stainless wire for not much spend. That's what I did on my AC compressor
