The factory procedure uses a very expensive rotational torque measurement tool to properly set torque.
If you go down this road, be very, very careful when torqueing the pinion flange nut.

And how would you go about not over torquing that nut? Would you index the position of that nut on the threads, and only move that nut to that indexed position when your retorque?
