Torque question

My new Thudbuster installation instruction states " The rear bolt must be tightened
to 60 in*lb (6.8 N*m) with a 4 mm hex wrench"
I don't have the proper tool. I'm wondering if I can complete a satisfactory installation
without torquing the bolt. I'm usually careful not to over tighten bolts using a "snug and secure"
rule of thumb, and avoiding that last bit of force. But I have no idea if that would approximate 60 in lb's.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
