Not to hi-jack your advice to dc but would you mind explaining this one to me? I have never heard of anyone torquing (or is it retorquing after installation?) f'wheel bolts through the fork hole. I can't imagine getting a torque wrench in there much less getting an accurate reading.
I have only done p'plate bolts on installation, obviously with the s'shield and trans out. If it can be done, I think it's corner-cutting and is not smart or safe but I would stand corrected if it's common professional practice.
Still wouldn't do it though...
