Yep, with the right torque wrench for the job you can torque anything properly.

I use Performance Tools for my foot lbs and another one for in lbs. You could use your foot lbs torque wrench and convert your in lbs to ft lbs....the nut is 96-120 so you could use your ft lbs torque wrench and torque to10 ft lbs. (or 120 in lbs)

This is why I like my tech wrench though. It does inch, foot, and angle all in one.

While on the subject of good torque wrenches, does anyone have or used the Craftsman Electronic Torque Wrenches? I see that they can be used in ft lbs, inch lbs and Nm as well. Got me thinking about getting one. Mixed reviews on the sears page.

Yea I hear ya. I pay out $50 a week on my current bill. Finally got it down from 8k to 3k. Debating on contacting my old dealer and adding another 2-3k though. Maybe when I can work in a garage rental into my budget lmao.
