Step 1: Torque to 15 Nm (11 ft. lbs) in sequence.
Step 2: Torque nuts an additional 90 degrees.
Edit
After the initial posting, I realized I was guessing on which torque method had the higher final torque value. So to test it out, I used a M10 1.5 stud I torqued a nut to 11 ft lbs and then an additional 90 degrees using a deflector beam torque wrench. When 90 degrees was reached the beam torque wrench indicated about 85 ft lbs.

Thanks everyone - its clear now.
The penny dropped for me on this last email and my mis-reading was around the topic of 'higher torque' - I had originally assumed the 15Nm option to be less than the 25#ft option. That 90 deg sweep corrects that incorrect assumption I had.
Thanks Everyone. Case closed - excuse the pun.
Warm Regards
Tom.
