Trailer lug torquing
...when you check the torque of your trailer lugs, do you loosen them first, or just test the torque tightness?

I torque to spec in two stages, dry threads, then recheck at the spec'd torque value a couple times in the next 100 or so miles. Then I re-check periodically just to make myself feel good I guess, because I never find any loose again, until a wheel might be removed again for whatever reason.
