So I have the 12-point ring gear bolts from ARP. A standard crow-foot
adapter doesn't really fit. A flare-nut style crow-foot of a larger
size will -almost- fit, but not the best. Well, to do this properly
with the differential still in place, here is -my- solution.
I found that a 3/4" spline drive torque adaptor fits perfectly:

The cool thing is, it comes with the center-to-center dimension stamped
right on it. In this case, 2 inches. This makes the torque wrench
calculation a lot easier.

Just received it today, so I'll probably get after the ZF this weekend.
