Yes - that's about right. Those don't need to be torqued very tightly, and the bolts aren't very big anyway. Get a 6 inch wrench that fits and tighten them firmly.

Just did mine. Same problem, no room. I just put some loc tight, removable on their and got them as snug tight as I could. They were not very tight when I removed them though. It was a nice, since all the other bolts/nuts were on the rearend were very tight and rusty.
