Hi  Bill,

Getting to second question first.  The only way I could  figure to get a 
torque wrench on those dampener bolts was to borrow  a  "Crows Feet" socket . 
The look like the end of a open end wrench  that has been cut off with a 
standard size hole punched for a socket  wrench.  You hook your torque wrench 
on the end of one the proper  size and it will slide in with sufficient 
clearance to get on the dampener  bolt.  A "Crows Feet" socket/wrench looks 
like  this:



Bill, 
 
If you are going to use the crows foot attachment, remember that you have  to 
calculate the actual torque provided by the indicated torque on  the  wrench. 
There is a formula for that. Depending on what angle your torque wrench  is 
to the actual nut/bolt, your delivered torque will be different.

Hi Bill,

It's been a while since I installed mine so I may be remembering this
incorrectly.  I think I snugged the bolts up, then rotated the flywheel
until each bolt was accessible thru the starter hole.  I probably
needed an extension on the torque wrench, but you don't have to
recalibrate it.
