My first thought would be that you drastically over tightened. A 5 foot lever? You don't realize how much force you can put on a bolt with that kind of leverage. A standard torque wrench is what 1 1/2 to 2 foot long. I'm not real strong in the arms and I don't have any trouble torqueing to what, 120 Ft. Lbs. without using any kind of cheater. I cheat like everybody else and use cheater pipes and so on, but mainly to take bolts off. Useing cheaters is a bad habbit to get into, and diffinately a bad idea when putting something together.
