Probably does not make a whole lot of difference, and I'm not the expert. But, I have read on this forum, or perhaps on Tool Talk that you are supposed to loosen first, the re-torque. The reason being that(if this is correct) it takes more torque to get the bolt/nut to begin turning than it does to turn it after starting, theoretically giving a false low reading. That is you need a smooth pull from start to finish. I do not know.
