i'd suspect yes, as that's what the manual states, it's more to do with stripping the threads, as all the torques are less than what would be normal into steel.

the high torque to loosen the bolt is probably the result of years being in there with micro corrosion and 'sticktion' holding it in! removing the 4 steering input shaft bolts on the steering rack resulted in 3 broken/ruined tools and ended up with the heads being drilled out. with a large shifter attached to 'break the seal' they then unscrewed with my fingers.... three tools ruined and they are just M6 screws!..

sometimes they are just tight through habit!
