Clutch adjustment

So noticed my car was crunching getting into first and reverse and tried to diy clutch adjstment on my 915 following this https://youtu.be/mrFxDwvZlAI?si=MBUvl2jESdvLjBU5

Did it the first time and as i was tightening the bolts to get from 1.2mm to 1.0mm the clutch cable bracket snapped... i thought maybe it was damaged from before and ordered a new one and tried the adjustment being careful not to overtighten it and the same thing happened.....what am i doing wrong ?

Guess gonna order another one , loosely fit it and take it to a shop....

OK just to round out this thread. 3rd time lucky and finally got the clutch adjustment done. Sorry if this is obvious to everyone else but i snapped 2 brackets as the nut on the left side in the red circle, i would loosen but not loosen enough so when i tight the nut on the right side, it would eventually squeeze the bracket and it would snap. In my mind i thought it would just stop letting you tighten it i guess. Only other thing I did was once i thought i had the right gap of 1.00MM, i pumped the clutch a few times and re-gapped it as it was a way off still. Seems to have improved my overall shifting and its doesnt seem to be crunching in first and reverse anymore so hopefully thats sorted my issues out. Will see as I drive it more.
