How the heck do I ....
Lower ball joints... How the heck do I get a torque wrench in there??? Especially the rear where the half shaft is right above the studs of the ball joint!
And (while we're at it...) what does the torque spec of "first pass, 22ft/lbs, then 160 degrees" mean? Am I turning the king nut another 160 degrees after torquing to 22?
Any suggestions as to strategy or needed tools would be greatly appreciated!

That is exactly what it means.
