Just as an aside, if you're tightening stuff up to such low torques as 5Nm, then make sure you've
got nice clean threads (this applies generally, but particularly at low torques). I've seen people
tighten stuff to the "correct" setting then wonder why it still feels loose, all because of a
slightly dented thread which gives a bit of extra resistance.
Have fun!
