Default Any bolts on the car beat out the front brake caliper bolts for required torque at 148 ft lbs?
I'm going to be buying a new torque wrench. Is there anything on the car that requires greater than 148 ft lbs, the torque for the front brake caliper bolts? Anything else require a bigger grunt factor?

Thanks.

Close but no cigar..the half-shaft collar bolt at 140 ft lb plus additional 1/2-turn is almost there

Well technically it's a higher torque bolt, but doesn't need a torque wrench higher than 148 ft lbs.

Default Front crank bolt is 200 ft-lb iirc
I doubt you could even apply 200 ft-lbs without an impact wrench or the help of the hulk, so it probably doesn't even matter.

I'm planning on it. I already have a cheap one. I just wondered what range to cover.
