The 90 degrees is the factories way of making sure the spec is close in case someone is using a misadjusted torque wrench or what have you.

Thanks guys, did it last night.
I thought the extra turn was for the 'stretch bolts' they stretch a little bit to keep them tight, not sure how it works.
I replaced the bolts anyway.
