I managed to get my torque wrench to fit some of them, but for the rest, I used a regular ratchet. I went to ones that were torqued right and felt how tight they were, then just guessed. I think I got pretty close

I pretty much figured there was no way in hell I was going to get a torque wrench in there (especially #8 on the passenger side) so I just got them all snug but not overtightened with a wratchet or wrench.

I also used anti-sieze and stage 8 locking bolts so I don't figure I will have a problem loosening or if I ever need them out.
