see chart: https://www.holo-krome.com/uploads/7...edatachart.pdf
here shows that torque for N5 is 12Nm (about 10 ft-lb) , double the figure advised for aluminum bolts (6Nm)
and no more breaking bolts again.

now, how those low figures can be measured? which torque wrenches are within these ranges?

the most common start at 10 ft-lb
