Eh? How can following a the torque values in a Haynes book be a bad thing? I'd rather go by that, than a completely uninformed 'Ooo that feels about right!'
I think if people shear bolts after following specified torque settings then it is due to them over-tightening (you can still tighten with a torque wrench after it clicks) rather than the wrench being out or the book being wrong.
I know there have been genuine errors in haynes books with regards to torque settings, but generally they're pretty good. I have yet to shear a bolt anyway, following them.
