I'm thinking stock bolts are around 95 lb/ft. The stud kits usually up it to 105~
It needs to be pretty close. If it's too loose, then it might come loose or spin a bearing. Not good either way.

If anything get a cheap pointer style wrench and use it. No need for a $200 click style for just one job like this. Heck for a long time, the pointer syle was all that was available.

 

The Craftsman click style one is only about $50 isn't it?

The haynes manual says that the main caps do torque at 95-105 as stated
above, just confiming the info! Do yourself a favor and try to borrow a
torque wrench, you may check auto zone they loan tools!
