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.
