I guess that I take a different view on what the Shop manuals are saying. I 
am assuming that they want you to measure the rolling torque and NOT the 
break-away torque. Their use of "intial " does not mean breakaway as I see it, but 
is used to meant "first". That is why they also use the word "final" meaning a 
last measurement. Initial and final go together as I see it.

Anybody else got any thought here?
