C5 Fastener Torques
I'm going to purchase a new torque wrench in the next day or two, and was wondering if there are any fasteners on the C5 that would require a torque setting of more than 150 ft-lbs.
The lug nuts are the highest I've had to use my old 10-150 ft-lb torque wrench for, but since I'm going to buy a new one I have the option of buying a 25-250 ft-lb wrench ... but I doubt I'd ever use it over 150. I've heard it's better to use a torque wrenche's middle 2/3rds range for the best accuracy.
What do ya think?
