Hi, that does look strange. Where is this stress scoped to? What does the geometry look like? How and at what location is pressure applied in step 2? Based on the direction of the applied pressure, tension in the bolt may increase or decrease in step 2.

You can add some images to you post. That might help other understand the problem better.
