I take mine to 90 then to next slot. If at 90 the next slot is quite a ways from lining up, I file a little off the nut or swap them around. Be sure to recheck a couple of times after that. I yet to find a car that does not need to retorqued a couple of times. Have had a number of cars come in the shop that was done once and never again!
