It was my fault in that I misplaced my 5/8" open end wrench, so I just put a socket on what was in my hand...a 1/2" drive torque wrench.

Sadly, I didn't get that info anywhere. It just so happened that I had the torque wrench at 50 ft/lbs, and without thinking I pushed, racheted, and snapped it off. That's what I get for getting too caught up in the radio, and not paying enough attention to what I was doing.

I guess I was so used to applying a lot of pressure with an 8" 5/8 open end wrench, that without thinking I applied the same pressure to an 18" socket wrench.

It shouldn't be much of a problem to make a new one though. I don't know if it'd be better to wait until Tuesday and see if Case has it, or make it myself.
