Jim,
I use a regular ratchet to get the nut started. When I get close to bottom I switch over to the torque wrench. You are right that 25 inch lbs doesn't feel like much! The first time I torqued an AN3 I was sure that couldn't be right. Also, make sure you have a washer under the nut you are torquing. I hope this helps.
The last thing that hasn't been said is calibration, I used a friends uncalibrated torque wrench against my calibrated one and there was two turns on the flat of the nut difference...

So how does one determine if your torque wrench is calibrated? Can calibration be done on your own, or does it need to be sent back to the manufacturer? (speaking of a click over type)
Thanks
