I have run across the same over the years. The engineers are not always right. Sometimes they are sitting at a desk and not really familiar with the application.Ya, years ago I was setting up torque control power tools at a tractor assembly plant and one of the parts was a rubber clamp sandwiched between 2 metal plates, the bolts were something like an M8. The torque spec was for a M8 Grade 10.9 from some bolt chart. Not only could I not reach their torque spec. with my tools, when I got there using a digital torque wrench, the rubber was completely flattened/extruded. Ugly looking assembly.
Suggested to the ME to revisit the spec and get back to me.
