I use a torque wrench on everything.

Except wheel bearings.

Cinch it down tight with pliers to squeeze the excess grease out, and seat the bearings, while spinning it. then loosen, Do that a few times.

The last time, just snug enough to take the play out, no more. Zero or tiny bit of preload. Done.

That's how my dad did it. So how I do it. He worked the flight line at an air base and kept unclecsams stuff in the air.
So he cared about lots of things being done right and did not take short cuts that were not safe
