I am sure that those bolts are single use only and new ones should be used for a rebuild but is sure DB will correct me

Thanks for the replies. I will be using a home made protractor as per your suggestion David. Stu, you're correct they are single use and I'm fitting new.

You will be able to "feel" when the bolts are starting to stretch on the last 1/4 turn
Like you say  only use the bolts once with plenty of lube

You can get an angle torque gauge for a few  pounds. They are easy enough to use.
At the garage I used work at we had a Snap On tech wrench that did traditional torque and angles. You could go 45° back of and go another 45° and it would know. Don't ask me how. Great bit of kit but not cheap.
Angle gauge like this.

You can get them cheaper as that is a sealey one
