I took my SLX crank off for cleaning but when tightening the bolts on the left hand crank they seem to loosen off a little. So if i tighten one bolt the other bolt would loosen off abit and the same when tightening the other bolt. how would i fix this?

    yes they do that.

    you tighten one a bit then the other then first then the second then the...... until the correct torque setting has been achieved.

    Same as when fitting stems, bars, discs, calipers etc - whenever there are pairs or groups of bolts do them up bit by bit.
