Default What happens when you overtorque a bolt?
You get to go buy more tools and and call yourself a retard the whole time extracting it!!

I'm usually good about following torque specs, but this was mostly due to frustration and stupidity.

Totally feel for you. I just got thru digging out a motor mount bolt that twisted off in the block while changing to polys. Not that much fun. Good luck.
