Crash,
I think I wrote back off slightly, as in just crack
them, so that the static friction factor is
eliminated.  What you've described is safer, and
thinking about it is probably what I do more often
than not.  The backing off before retorqing was what I
was trying to emphasize.  Sorry for any confusion.  
Ron
