I followed the instructions of the manufacture to the letter, I purchased a Torque wrench especially for this application. With that much money invested I wasn't about to trust someone else with my wheels. I torqued the bolts in a crossing pattern increasing the amount of torque each time untill I reached the specified amount. I checked regularly to insure that the bolts held at the desired setting. In the instructions that I was provided they did not mention the need to replace these bolts on a regular basis. If all it would take is to replace the bolts on a regular basis this may save someone the hassle that I have gone through. It is good to hear that my experiance isn't common and may have been prevented.

Has anybody else had bolts breaking with the Walker Evans Beadlocks?
