    Looks like I got the right one. However, the ones I think you're referring to (step h?) are not the same ones. I just wanted to clarify that for anyone seeing this later on. Go up 3 pages in the repair manual to page 2918 of 7595, and you should see the ones I'm referring to in step a.

    Any advice on getting a torque wrench on bolt C pictured here? I managed to torque A and B, but have been having trouble with C. I've been able to get a socket on bolt C using extensions on the torque wrench, but the socket goes on crooked. It doesn't completely set on the bolt do to the other stuff nearby (high pressure line or something?)

    Can you loosen or unbolt the clamps on the lines in your way, shift them?

    I was hoping to be able to do it without messing with any of those lines. But I ended up removing 1 10mm nut that was holding the hose and taking it out of the black clamp thing. That gave me enough clearance to torque the bolt properly
