I don't have a heated garage, so I was wondering how much difference it makes between toqueing bolts when it's 70 degrees versus 40 degrees. (also preloading bearings etc.) I would assume that I should throw a heater in there and get it as close to 70 degrees as possible 65 even. What do you guys think?

Careful attention to methods and uniform preparation is more important by far, than temp. I would let five minutes go by between patterning the bolts with the wrench.
Unless preload is determined by a rotational force value on the bearing (turning the shaft, etc) there is no difference in preload settings. JimN

I have always done it just like micrometer measuring, make sure all fasteners and tools are at the same temperature and go for it. I always run thru the bottom end three times before moving on. Might not be book right but have built 40+ and no problems, yet. Knocking on wood right now! HTH. Fred
