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.....
