When first I did a case I, too, wondered how to torque the flywheel end nuts. I suppose you could put a crowfoot onto your torque wrench.

Me, I just use a 13mm wrench and tug hard. Its length pretty much insures against overtorquing by hand. Haven't had an issue with this. I don't think the perimeter studs are torque critical. They don't have to withstand the reciprocating loads, do they? The case throughbolts take care of those.

Look on the bright side - at this point, all you have wasted are the throughbolt seals, and you've got putting a case together down pat. The real cause for tears is a teardown problem discovered after you have the cams in and timed.
