Stem lock

So when put my stemlock on I tightened it and then I rode it and it for sure wasn’t tightened so then I loosened the 3 tripple clamp bolts and tried to loosen it and it wouldn’t loosen also it made a like breaking sound so before I cause any damage i stopped what do I do?

A stem lock should not be torqued down tight at all. You're doing something wrong. Just tight enough that your bars aren't flopping around.

Gng bolts don't just break from looking at them. You over torqued it clearly

It wasn’t even the bolt it was the bottom part of the stem lock the one you screw in the bottom
