I finally removed, cleaned, and installed the new sump gasket, I was applying torque to bolt #3 when instead of click... it went snap! Broke the friggin bolt inside of the crankcase. It's either time for a new torque wrench, or definitely time for some new bolts. Crap
 
The manual states 12Nm, I set the torque wrench to 8.85 ft lbs, which it roughly converts to.
 
IMHO with that low of a torque setting you should have used a in.lb. torque wrench for better feel unless you have a high dollar electric one. Just my opinion though.

If it helps any, it was a 3/8 drive torque wrench, I think those bolts are one time use, or they should be one time use, the manual doesn't say to replace them.
 
Aw nightmare ! Is there enough stud left for a purchase or is it a drill out job ?
