Thanks for the replies.
Maz, I know I should have gone indoors,switched on the computer, loaded the manual, checked the torque setting and done the job properly. However, the sun was shining and I thought if I get this done quick i can go out for a ride. When it felt tight enough I thought I'll just give it one more pull and that's when the socket spun round with very little effort at all.
I am neither very big or very strong and was not using anything to extend the length of the ratchet and so was pretty surprised when I heard it break.
I did check on here to see if it was a common problem but it appears not.
