Over tighten UCAs bolt?

Hey guys, so im doing my first ucas greasing today and was tightening up the uca bolt. Spec is 81 ft lbs but seems like either my torque wrench is not working i didnt hear a click to let me know its torque to spec. Question is, if I continue, what will happen?
Any other infos i need to know regarding maintenance on the ucas?

Its a camburg uniball

 

Honestly considering the part that you are torquing, I would buy a new torque wrench from Amazon if you think your torque wrench isn't working properly... They click pretty loud I can't imagine not hearing it if it did click

 

I lower the spec and i hear it click. So im assuming its working but as i put it to 81ft i keep torquing and haven’t heard it yet. Im just a bit paranoid that i might be overtighten the bolt. Ive only did one side so far, so I tighten it to the same thread as the other just in case.

 

A little over 2 threads like the other side

 

Thanks for doing that man. Makes me feel a bit more comfortable lol. I did a test drive around the block, seems to be normal.

 

Awesome infos. I think im doing everything right but it is my first time. Just gotta get a pick to release the excess pressure

I bought a harbor freight torque wrench and it worked fine a few times. Then I snapped a grade 8 bolt on my sliders torquing at 80ft/lbs. Grade 8 shouldn’t snap with 80 ft/lbs...

That’s sucked since it was the last bolt of the day to attach them, so I had to completely take one side off go get a bolt and do it again. That really sucked

Then I bought a 150 ft/lb Tekton torque wrench on Amazon for like $40. Much happier now since it clicks with confidence every time

 

A little tighter is better than a little loose. You need a new wrench if it won’t click.
