If you are going to re-torque it I would loosen it first and then re-torque. When a bolt is already torqued down there is frictional forces involved that you have to overcome to get the bolt moving again. You could exceed your torque spec getting the bolt to move. You could also not be torqued to what you think because the friction is keeping the bolt from moving and you get a "click" before the bolt breaks free.
