Actually, I thought just the opposite - they looked rather wimpy to me; they're not big bolts, I think they're M8 size. I wasn't using a cheater bar or anything to tighten them. I did use the impact to remove them, maybe that weakened it?

Next weekend I'll put it up on the ramps and see if I can extract the broken bolt.
