66 ft-lb is a lot of torque!!
If you're having forum problems, I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but your post ain't one.
I've been using 72ft lbs.
This somewhat OT but I just bought a Torque Wrench (MasterCraft Maximum) and it seems really easy to make it "click" at 65ft-lb while putting the wheels on the other day. Is there a simple/effective way to check the accuracy of the torque settings?

They are real long and you have a lot of leverage so it does not seem like it is that tight I thought the same with the one i have.

And you should barely move the toque wrench before the click.
