Good to know. I have some new bolts ordered. Just so I know, are the current original bolts over torqued, which contribute to them breaking?
I’m just curious to see if this replacement process with proper torque values will “prolong” their life compared to current.
I replaced mine a couple weekends back out of precaution. Took no time at all to do it. One thing I wanted to know was what the final torque was on these. I set the wrench to 52 and then incrementally increased 10 ft.lbs at a time while continuing to the 90 degree turn. Final torque ended up at 120. Not sure what long term impact doing this will be but at least I know they are now at the recommended torque.
Probably not a bad idea to have a spare set lying around so if one snaps I can drill it and pull it out to replace it.
