yup, take 1 out, put one in and do all stages of torquing it down. move on to the next bolt.
fingers crossed you get away with it. if i starts using water and having mayo on the underside of the oil cap.......... you didnt get away with it.

I Did mine one for one and had no problems. Just check by hand that none are sitting in there broken already, you would hate to get half way through and realise that one is broken. The new bolts are one use only stretch bolts.
