New front end on this 71,the only part i have not torque down is the srb,have done the rear,but with my rad and shroud in the way of a socket,what can i do,i have tighten some but don't know if it enough or not.
 
I'm thinking you tighten it until the rubber is flush or even with the edge of the washer. Use a boxed end wrench. You might have to borrow one that size or rent one from the local parts store.

See what others reply, with the proper torque.
 
I would just get it "mostly" tight and then let the alignment shop do the final adjustment/tightening for you.
 
How hard was it to replace these bushings?
Thinking about doing it on my '66.

Did it torqued with nothing in the way, and with a wrench. Looked the same . That's what I always did after that. If it looked right, it was right.
