Default Front Lugs - 05 4x4

This makes me ill , but has anyone replaced a front lug bolt on a 05 4x4 DC ?
At 5k miles tonight, I rotated my tires. Glancing at the manual for the torque values , I set my torque wrench to the what I thought was the right value of 110 ftlbs. My last truck was a Chev 1 ton dually with a torque value of 140 ftlbs so this didn't seem unreasonable at the time. As I finished the last lug, it snapped ! SH*T ! I checked the manual again and realized it should have been the 83 ftlb value. I backed off the remaining 5 and retorqued to the 83 ftlb.

So how tough is it to pound out and change. Should I change the remaining 5 since I've probably stretched them too? Could just kick myself in the @ss...

HELP !
