1) [See highlight] If the bolt had already been tightened to a torque that was greater than the setting on the wrench, then the wrench would immediately click
without any further rotation of the bolt.
2) Insert the bolt with washer thru the shaft stand and observe the number of threads exposed. Five or more, no problem. If four, just make sure that the torque wrench is set correctly.
