No space to fit a torque wrench in some rear control arm components on touring?

[Olly84]

Hey ya'll, I'm in the process of doing some of my rear suspension. Got the shocks out easy, now working on the rear upper control arm (wishbone). I'm saving it for tomorrow, but I'm wondering how to tighten the ball joint nut with a torque wrench if I have an allen key or clamp on the front spindle. The only way to tighten that nut is with a ratchet or combo wrench...

Even the part that connects to the subframe seems really tight to get a normal socket in...I've been using ratcheting box wrenches for most the work. These torque values are high up there...in the 60s/100s ft-lbs so i'm a little confused.

All the diy's i've seen are of the sedan, and a random touring that had coil springs instead of the bulky air springs.

Disconnect the air lines at the tops of the air springs so you can deflate the air bags. That'll give you a lot more room to work with.
