When I helped a friend do his headers, we got at it with a deepwell socket, and his torque wrench just fine, from above. Of course AIR/EGR is now gone at that point. Factory spec is 18ftlbs i belive. We used factory gaskets with spray on Copper Gasket Maker on them, torqued them, and moved on. So far so good, 2 weeks of open headers is getting old.

I'm not sure of the size,but cant you just throw a couple different sockets on one of the front bolts thats easy to reach.To see what size it is.I'm not using stock bolts so thats why I dont know what size you have.

They're metric,so just get a set of the metric sockets.The size will be in there.I cant see them being smaller than a 10mm or bigger than say a 14mm.I know its somewhere in between there.
