I am in the process of installing a new clutch friction plate and while tightening the the bolts for the cover plate one sheared in half. I had the torque wrench set a 10 ft/lbs at the time but for some reason it sheared in the middle of the bolt. I took everything back apart and I was able to remove the rest of the bolt which was only finger tight. Any ideas on what might cause this to happen or what I am doing wrong?
