[Jono]

you shouldn't be copping any shit from your boss. tell him to drop it, or else you'll find another place to work.

torque spec for bolt that broke is 40nm.... that is fairly well swinging off a spanner or 3/8 ratchet to get it to that torque..... hmmm.... and boss isn't at all worried about it!
