Hmm, I was taught to always loosen first when doing a re-torque.  Otherwise,
stiction (static friction) screws up your torque reading.  Likewise, when
approaching the final torque value, you have to keep the nut or bolt moving
until you reach the value.  If you stop just a little bit short, it will stick
and not turn the rest of the way.
