Re: disc bolts snapped
It's probably becuase you added a lubricant to the threads, this allows you to easily over-tighthen.
A small torque wrench is handy (always is in hindsight) for the important small bolts if your not confident in over/under tightening them.

I have more time to reply now, but taken from here.. it's a useful information people don't realise that when you put a lubricant on the thread it becomes easy to over-tighten.Deviant400 wrote:yep neo , i have a handy little torque wrench now as iv just been given one , so when i get round to sorting it out i know it'll be done correct this time

You can see you need less torque with lubrication
