If you will be referring to Wayne's 101 projects, the torque they suggest is wrong. For your bolts, I think the actual number should be 60 or 61 ft. lbs. for the 10mm. The numbers he uses are reversed.

Ask me how I know. Hey Wayne, can I get a credit when the second edition comes out? I snapped a bolt due to attempting to torque the 8mm bolt at 60 lbs.!! I think the error has already been reported to you. A credit would be very prestigious for me...haha.

regards,
