I too broke a tension bolt several years ago and was fortunate enough to ge= t
a set of the NEW ones 0.500" from a friend - highly recommended.
Mazda increased the size of those bolts for a reason and my original set were all spiraled with silicone ... put a little silicone on the 0.50"= as

Dave,

Run a spiral of RTV around the body of those tension bolts next time you remove them.=C2=A0 That will pretty much eliminate the vibration breakage.= =C2=A0 Don't
put it on the threads.

Hello,

at 6,300 RPM.
