So, I followed your advise, and got the torque wrench before moving forward to the others bearings. Actually I've got two, one is made by Tekton, the other is FL Feeling (chinese).
I don't know about their calibration, so I'll try to check the torque with both. What you think?

Amazingly enough, the plate does not look too expensive. No way for you to get someone to ship one to you?

Brazil import taxes are 60% of (price + shipping). This is a federal tax. If I ship by Fedex, UPS, or DHL it gets even more expensive, since they have to pay state taxes too, and the 60% becomes 110%.
Brazil's got a bad industry, and a bad importing policy. Who understands?
That's why the bearings (BE) are the only thing I can afford now.
