Appears a number of you do this as part of annual maintenance. Seems like a good idea, but I'm not sure exactly how to do it. I think I read somewhere that if I come by every year and just tighten them to the torque spec I'll be increasing the actual torque on the bolts each year.
So, what's the process? Loosen one at a time and re-torque to spec? Remove, one at a time and apply appropriate stuff (my repair manual specifies Loctite A), then re-install and torque? Or, loosen or pull all and re-install and torque? Preceding recognizing that the torqueing is to be done in a prescribed sequence.
Appreciate any input.
