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.

You're about two years too late; see the below errata link.
