R55 Clubman Lug Nut Torque?
#26
All torque wrenches, from Snap-On to H.F., are meant to be regularly calibrated. The premium price of Snap-On also includes the tool-truck guy calibrating your torque-wrench for you when he comes to visit your shop. This convenience factor is included it the price. (Calibration equipment is expensive)
FWIW, the latest digital Snap-on units that go to Boeing (aircraft).. "self lock out" at 60 days to force a recalibration that is then verified and reset by Snap-On.
As a side note... when torquing wheels.... I do a "star pattern"...
30 ft/lbs, 60ft/lbs, 90 ft/lbs...
That's never let me down.. nor have I damaged components...

I agree totally, if you fully tighten the first nut/bolt/screw you probably aren't aligned properly with the rest of the holes anyway.

Same thing happened to me when I did a stud conversion on my Mini. It's just the studs stretching. Check them again in a while, but they probably won't loosen again. Mine didn't. I have the TSW M14x1.25 to M12x15 stud conversion from Way Motor Works.
