Default A Arm replacement on an S4

is it possible to remove / replace / properly torque the pictured bolt with the engine in the car? it's the rearward passenger side front a-arm bolt.

Thanks!

Yes. Technically you're supposed to replace those nuts on the upper control arms, but I doubt most people bother (including me). You just tighten the **** out of them when you put them back on.

Yep, 22mm socket on a breaker bar. From underneath, of course. 103 ft-lbs.

Depending on what else is going on, I have been able to get those bolts from the top.

Not easily, but I do remember not being under the car.

It was a combination from above and underneath the car when I replaced the A arms. I was unable to use a tension wrench there wasn't enough room so I used a long straight ring spanner and a socket where I could get it in and cranked them up.
I will torque them properly when the engine is out.
