I was using permatex blue.  It was very strange, I was gradually increasing torque.  The bottom bolt tightened up like you would expect.  I got to about 90 ftlb.  The top bolt was tight but kept turning and not "clicking" the wrench at 90. I was worried about my torque wrench so I kept going back to the bottom bolt to make sure my wrench was working and it would "click" indicating I was at 90. Sure enough eventually I heard the dreaded "SNAP" and the bolt broke.  125 ftlb is a lot for those little bolts so I would like to just go with all new ones.  Now I am going to have to buy a new bracket most likely as well since the bolt broke off in it.  I will try getting the stud out but well see.

Thanks everyone, the forum has been so helpful!
