"I probably torqued it past spec yesterday actually."

How do you know this; did you use a torque wrench or just guess? Shimano specifies 36 to 51 foot-lbs which is a surprisingly large amount of torque. Most people undertorque large fasteners and overtorque smaller ones, so you may have guessed wrong.
