The problem with driving them, then retorquing is that it takes about 10 ft/lbs to break the nut loose. If you torque to 90, drive it and it loosens to 82, then you won't break it loose while retorquing to 90. I was curious about this and tested it out. They all took 8 -10 lbs of force to break loose with lots of ARP lube.
