My exhaust has been off and on so many times, those torque settings are etched on my mind now!
Don't worry too much about removing the exhaust - it's not a difficult job. You can probably get away without replacing the exhaust gaskets (although they're only a couple of quid so it's handy to keep a couple in the spares box along with the oil filter and drain plug washers).
Only a couple of things to note - you'll need something to unhook the retaining springs. A sturdy cable tie works or you could easily fashion a spring puller - I used a length of fencing wire, which does the job.
Also, when tightening the flange nuts, wind them on evenly before finally torqueing them down so that you keep the clamp parallel to the head.
