What is this torque spec???

I'm looking at changing out my trans fluid for the first time since I've owned the truck (2002 F250 2wd, 50K mi).

If I'm changing out the filter at the same time, what torque specs should I use to tighten the trans fluid pan bolts back on? I am looking at a Haynes manual (which I know not many people like, but its all I have right now) and it says to tighten them to 108 in-lbs.

I know what a ft-lb of torque is, my torque wrench says so right on the front. Not sure what an in-lb of torque is though..... any ideas or pointers?

lb-in = lb-ft/12
108 lb-in = 9 lb-ft

A lb-in torque wrench is normally much smaller (1/4 drive) to more accurately measure the lower torque pressures.
