Over-torqued

[brazos]

Just installed Spidertrax 1.75” wheel spacers.
I realized after the first one that I had accidentally set my new torque wrench at 140 instead of specified 130.
Didn’t break anything, and reset wrench for remaining spacers.
Kind of a PITA to remove it with red loctite, but I’d sure hate for my left front wheel to fall off.
<8% over-tight.
Leave it alone or pull it apart?

I don't think that's going to hurt anything

You're totally fine. Torque wrenches generally have a margin of error of about 4% anyway.

Just what I hoped to hear. Thanks!
