Good afternoon everyone,
I am looking for the advice of an A&P or IA concerning torque. I read in the Standard Aircraft Handbook that an AN3 bolt should be torqued to 20-25 inch pounds. However I am having a hard time finding a torque wrench that will go that low. Is there any harm in torqueing them to 30 inch pounds (seems to be the starting point on most wrenches I have seen)?
Thanks
Brandon
