What I am telling you is that if you know the grade of the bolt, its material, its size, its thread pitch, and whether or not it is lubricated there is a lot of information to tell you exactly what the torque spec is.

Yes. It says "torque down three equal step" to 70lbs.. Well I didn't torque them down three equal step. Since it didn't give me each lbs to torque down to make it each equal step. I set the thing at 70lbs on torque bar and torque till it got to 70lbs when it beeps. I did that with one shot on each bolt.
Yes but it tells me to torque them down three equal step. It didn't give me each equal per lbs to torque them till it's 70lbs. It a just gave me 70lbs and I torque them down all one time when it reach 70lbs till it beeps. I looked up the spec but it's not giving me a lbs per step.
The bolts come with a minimum and maximum torque spec, the minimum is your start point (ensures a clamping load), the maximum is your end point... split the difference for the middle spec. Simple enough.
Worst case scenario you can use the maximum of the next smallest bolt as your start point.
Torque to 70 ft-lbs in 3 equal steps=1. 23 ft-lbs, 2. 46 ft-lbs, 3. 70 ft-lbs, done.
