I'm going to buy the air hose adapter just to round out the tool set. I was thinking I could just jam the rubber cone attachment on my air blaster into the hole, but that'll make it a 3 handed operation.
Yes you are right:

Bolts go to 10Nm, then get loosened 90 degrees. Then when you are done they go to 14Nm.

I was probably looking at the CCW threads for the gears that do go to 10Nm.
