Torque wrench

[pickerandsinger]

Did you "chase" the bolt hole threads with a tap to clean them out before reinstalling? I had a similar thing happen with brand new stainless radiator bolts. After luckily getting out one that broke while torqueing, I chased all holes and easily was able to properly torque.

Yep, I did….I chased them and put never seize on them…I felt almost like the bolt was stretching before it broke on the install and of course the one that broke during removal was just stubborn….I checked with the seller and he said they came from a USA supplier but did not know the origin of the bolts….He replaced the bolt with 2 long and 2 short so I thought that was decent…Also could have been my torque wrench not clicking correctly I suppose… :lol:….Part of the suspense I guess, being able to rectify a situation…. :applause: :lol:
