You guys are lucky... I have hit 75-80lb ft to get alignment.
But I also us my torque wrench properly, and use the formulas for torque using an adapter that increases the length... Like pretty much every barrel wrench does.
If your barrel nut wrench extends the wrench 2in, at 80lb ft actual applied torque, your wrench will read 12lb ft low... So your wrench clicks at 68lb ft, but you are really applying 80 lb ft.
Every instructional video I have seen, does this wrong, and does not take this difference into account.
Mil spec type barrel nuts are the only ones I have had to do this with though. Others seem to line up easier.
