Thanks both. Sorry I dint continue the subject in my first post.
That's what I new in my heart but could'nt bear to tell myself after
working on this 7 hrs today and the bolt broke when I was torqueing
everything up with a torque wrench. I had read 30 lbs but never heard
the click not sure if the bolt was FUBAR to begin with as I never
really torqued it hard :-(

Well I'm taking off another day tomorrow to work on this and to get it
right!

When you have the housing off inspect it for cracks, if you think it may
have over-torqued. Aluminum is not too forgiving for overtorqued bolts.

Yep, you already knew it. Take it off. :( Shouldn't take more than an
hour or so.
