Torque Arm Bolt Size?

What size socket is required to remove the torque arm bolts? 20~22MM? Will I need a deep socket or will a shallow work? Also, do you know what they need to be torqued back to?

shallow socket with an open end wrench. i put my bolts back in the opposite way so ta. can be removed without touching rear end. i just tightened mine with a 3/4 ratchet as tight as i could.

Thanks, that was it. I was able to get it off and finally replace my speedo gears. Reinstalling the torque arm took most my time. Couldn't get it to line up! But everything's back on and now I know what speed I'm driving

I wouldn't put them in upside down. If they come loose, they'll fall out.
