You can't tighten a fastener with one torque wrench then try it with another 
torque wrench for the reasons you say, but connecting two torque wrenches 
together with a bit of 1/2" or whatever box tubing should be a good enough 
indication.  Even in the first case you should be able to mark the position 
of nut and stud after the first, then back-off and retighten with another 
and compare the marks.  Which one is right is another matter ...
