Gee, I have never broken a stainless steel bolt. They have been too hard.
I have broken galvanized steel bolts. Particularly after they have rusted a bit.



They'll break, especially when inserted into a non-stainless environment..... ie: threads in bell housing of most all rotors. A chemical reaction occurs, degrades the bolt....... a three year old can snap the head right off the bolts..... no problemo.....
