hello all, I am having a issue with removing my forward controls for mid controls. The linkage that is connecting my forward controls to the brake the bolt is extremely stuck. I have broken two torque wrenches trying to remove it. Ill post pictures tonight any ideas though on how to remove this bolt??

I think he meant should NOT use a torque wrench.
I think the OP meant torx, not torque wrench.
Try heating it up with a hair dryer or heat gun. The heat should help get the factory loctite loose. You could also try PB Blaster or some other penetrating oil. Use quality torx bits. I bought these while in the middle of that procedure, iirc.
