I know that the center bolts are done first 15-20 ft pds, and the outside last 25-30 ft pds, but what size drive fits in the space so that you can get the socket on there. I have two torque wrenches, but they are 1/2" drive. Will a 3/8" drive fit, or do you need a 1/4" drive. The outside bolts won't be a problem.

That torque range is usually found on a 3/8" driver. However, given the space limitations, I usually just pull them pretty snug using a long box end wrench.

I use a 3/8' drive witha crows foot and/or a box adapter to get to the tight ones.
