Wheel Bearing Torque

I was just explaining why the FSM was written the way it was.

Besides, the chances of someone having a 12" wrench that fits that nut and a 5 pound weight right at their finger tips are pretty slim. I know exactly where my in-lb torque wrench is plus a socket and adapter to attach to it. So why not use it?

Maybe a 10 lb weight on a 6" wrench...or a 2.5 lb weight on a 24" wrench...
It was humor. You took it wayyyyyyy too literally.
I know where all my t-wrenches are but dont use them for this. Ever.
If you feel the need to then by all means go for it.
I dont because I have finely calibrated fingers. (again, humor...but based in truth)
