Looking in haynes it sais that in the last stage or tightening up have to do the bolts up to a torque of 25Nm. The wrench im looking at getting only does 30 and up, does it matter that its 5Nm out or does it have to be exact? |

yes go buy a 3/8's torque wrench. The 1/2 inch drives only read from 28 upwards normally. |

my 1/2 incher starts at 28, but i just counted a few down below the 28 mark...did the job fine....plus the 1/2" wrench is much more useful to have thana 3/8" |
