Yes, but 5 lb-ft is tough to gage with a conventional lb-ft torque wrench, either beam or click type, that reads to 150 lb-ft. They aren't accurate enough at the low end of the scale to be reliable below about 15 lb-ft.
For small torque specs one should have about a 300 lb-in torque wrench. I have an old beam type with this scale.
For setting up axle and steering gear bearing preloads, a 25 lb-in torque wrench is necessary.
