The F80Ho video on youtube has a part where he measures the combination of sockets, adapters and wrench that fit. That saved me some time. I think it was min 3" - max 3.25" measured from the socket tip to the back of the ratchet.

I only had a 3/8" torque wrench and no combination of sockets/adapters that could fit with it, so I just torqued it by feel. Torque spec is 25 ft lb for VTT and MMR. 29 ft lb for some other brand I found.

I did this last month for my friend. It took me 2.5hrs. Extremely easy tbh. I did the headless bolt method, but didnt have any on hand. You can buy this at Oreillys and put them in (I used 3), and buy the time you install the other bolts, the 3 will come off with ease. Very very easy install.
