Kevin, Greg...
Thanks for the advice. I called and left a message for Jim to let him know what happened, and I'm probably going to take the new compressor out, take it to a machine shop, and see if they can fix it up for me, unless Jim insists I return the unit to him. I was planning a long road trip next week and this seriously impacts my plan.
It irks me, but I know you're right, Greg -- the remanufacturer is bound to claim I put some gorilla torque on those threads and exceeded the spec. I didn't use a torque wrench, but there's no way I overtorqued it -- I was using a 3/8" drive ratchet and when it broke I was snugging the bolt holding the ratchet by its head. I hadn't even moved my hand to the end of the handle for a final tug. That bolt needs to be tight to seal the hose block on there properly against the O-rings.
Wish me luck -- I'll repost when I get this resolved. Thanks again for your helpful words and sage advice, guys.
