I'd imagine because it's a workshop manual the writer assumed ( wrongly it seems ) that the reader would READ what was written.
In mine ( ST4S ) it states at the top of column on each page in bold
Part Thread (mm) Nm +/- 10% tolerance Notes Not seen many socket / spanner sizes in any factory manuals for this sort of thing as the torque value to be used has nothing to do with the size of the spanner/ socket / allen key used to tighten it - it relates to the thread size of the fastener, the purpose it was designed for & it's and the item it threads into's material.
Just a thought before a foot in mouth email gets sent out..........
