Just a side note, is it a possibility that the torque spec was given in lbs/inches and you set it as lbs/foot on the wrench? That would give 12 times more torque than the spec.
Reason I am asking I made that mistake once, when I was more novice with the tools and the torque specs and how they feel on tightness.
Or it was given Newton/meters and your torque wrench is only lbs/foot?
