Michael, usually love your videos, but this one contains a grievous error. The torque wrench dial is clearly marked that it reads in Newton Meters. 1 inch-pound equals 8.8 Newton meters. I think you probably over-torqued the bearing preload on the Mercruiser drive shaft. I will also say that based on internet searching, a torque wrench that will accurately measure five inch-pounds is a rare and expensive thing.

My needle points to like 2 O'clock w/ no force. Its only been used a few times and has never been very high on the scale...thoughts? Is that an issue?

Thanks for watching, any update on your project? Are you servicing an alpha one gen 1?
@ I disassembled, was shocked at how simple it was. Reset the dial and checked vs 2 other torque wrenches in the same range. So far so good!
