Alternator Belt installation

[AllroadMass]

Okay so while I have the front end off the car, I figured I should change out the alternator belt. My bentley manual says tighten the alternator belt pretension to 72 nm but I can't get my dang torque wrench to click. I just don't want to put it on too loose or too tight.

Dont know whats on the bentley manual as for instructions go
but i used this when i did my serpentine belt... if thats what you mean by alternator belt
by the sound of it, skip down to step 20
when i did it, it clicked for me

--->click me<---

Thanks!!! That's exactly what I'm doing and it's noting clicking for me. Just don't want to put it on too tight you know? But i'll give it another go and report back.

tried multiple torque wrenches and non of them would click for me so I got it tight enough where I can't pull the belt off the idler pulley. My secondary air pump should be coming in today so I'll put everything back together and start her up before I bolt the entire front end on.
