Trailer lug torquing

I use anti seize and torque to the lubricated value. You do not want to loosen or you lose the value of having re-torqued.
When wheels are removed and replaced you do an initial torque and then fifty or so miles down the road they are re-torqued.

I never loosen if I was the last to check.

If you think that they might be OVER torqued.,..then yes...loosen and re-torque.
