They are on the inside of the arms. How can you possibly get a torque wrench in there? I can easily get to the bolts on the outside but I don't think that'd be as accurate...

you dont really need to torque them. just get them tight enough to where you know that they arent going to come loose.

i just got mine off an the threads had lock tight on them. sounds like a good idea to use it to reinstall them.

Make sure you have the weight of the car on the wheels before you torque them, I used my neighbors drive on lift and then hit the nuts with the Torque Wrench.

You can do it on a Drive on Lift or on Ramps, just so the weight of the Car is on the Wheels.
