I’ll have to check if my torque wrench goes that low! I now fear I may have over tightened, even at at one to two finger pull…

Make sure we're talking the same thing. The stem and the core have different torque specs. The core is finger tight. 2 to 5 inch pounds. The stem is 7 to 10 foot pounds.

It’s a tire minder TPMS. I do not know what type of caps I have (don’t know the difference). They just seem “normal” to me, I screw them on the end of the stem and then tighten the nut against them

Thanks for providing the info Tony. Been putting off procuring a low range torque wrench. Looks like I'll need to go shopping - again...

What is the core? I’m referring to the stem (I think), the nit that tightens to the outside of the wheel.
