Is that manufacturers specification?


An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

25 foot pounds is equal to snugged up with a short handled 3/8 ratchet. No need to buy a torque wrench

One and a half uga duggas with a short 3/8s ratchet should be approximately 26ft lbs. I would call that good and send it.

I believe Autozone will rent you one for free. You put down a deposit that they refund when you return it.

Do you have an open end wrench and a fish scale? With some basic math you can get pretty close.
