If you've set it right keep doing it up and it will click at the right torque

well, what bit dont you get? you set it up to the correct torque seting (90 odd nm) then do it up untill it clicks

He's trying to take his wheels off . Chances are the place you had your last tyres fitted over tightened them with an air gun or impact wrench . Set the torque wrench to a high setting until you crack the nuts open . Then set the wrench at 90 Nm for reffiting your bolts and the jobs a good un . Plus you'll have a little lever on top for reversing the ratchet . Make sure you got it set to undo your bolts . When you do tighten them it will click , telling you you've reached the desired setting .
