I'm doing my timing belt and understand i need a dial gauge or beam torque wrench to rotate the tensioner bracket so i can then secure the nut in place.

The only ones i can find online go up to 9Nm or 300Nm, neither are appropriate for a 15Nm application.

So what do you guys use? A click torque wrench will lose its torque once it clicks?

Torque bar is less than £20 delivered off amazone or eblag.
 
If you could turn the old ford pinto timing belt 90 degree's at the largest gap between cogs it was pretty much tight enough. Personally I'd not be too fussy, i''d go for a steady hand on a click type torque wrench as previous replies.
