I'm trying to think if I've ever seen it...most of those I asked say "eh,
don't need it, I can feel the torque". Some of them can I'd guess, but in
most instances where I've checked after service I found things way
over-torqued. Sucked when I found the rear brake pad retaining pin
cranked way down and had to be drilled out for the next pad change!
Anyway I say get torque wrenches and use 'em for the critical stuff. I've
found it takes 3, which I got from Home Depot's "Husky" series that were
affordable.
