Also, how important is it that they are tightened with a torque wrench?

Thanks in advance

How easy are the bolts to get off ?

If you have the right tools, it isn't that hard. The mounting hardware from thrust arm (Wishbone) to chassis is tight. The bushing is butted up against the plastic wheel well. So one arm will need to remain stationary while the other turns the bolts ever so slightly.
