I agree with Mark on this. Per the FSM, that nut is a single use item - when it comes off you are technically suppose to replace it with a new one. Now people have reused the NyLoc nut without problems but again I know of one member that did and it somehow backed out causing the lower control arm to drop out of the knuckle on the street.
Using a torch may have had some adverse effects. I would recommend keeping an eye on it for safety. Glad to hear you got it all back together man.
