Torque engine bolts - C10

[DON B]

I would like to torque the front (top) engine bolts on my C-10 before I install the fairing lowers. Despite much time and effort I can not get a wrench or socket on or even near either of the nuts. My conclusion at this point is that the radiator has to be removed to provide access, and that aint happening. Can anybody with experience in this tell me what I need to do , or use? Thanks much, in advance

Try a box wrench inserted from the front. Torque the bolt.
But torqued-by-feel works too.

You can get to them with a small box end wrench.  Most of us have taken an old wrench and bent it to where you can get behind the nut.  I haven't tried one yet, but a box wrench with a swivel head may do the trick.  Up until I bent a wrench I used a small 3" or so snub end box wrench.  Takes some mouth twisting, and a few words, but it will work.

Aren't those a Hex cap socket bolt with a nut on the engine side?   I used a hex socket and torqued mine.

Fred, Your advice is very helpfull. It points me in a direction I couldn't come up with on my own. Now off to buy a wrench to bend/cut to size.
