i really couldnt see how to use a torque wrench on converter bolts, its tough enough getting a open end in there. i notched the bottom of my trans. case to get a better angle and placement on the bolts.
Shorten a 3/8 socket and you can use a 3/8 torque wrench. That is how I do it.
I have loosened the bolts a couple of times. Once I started using blue Loctite and torquing to 50 ft/lb, no issues.
Factory spec is 55 ft/lb, but I am not sure on the friction modifier. Don't know if that is a dry or wet torque, so I am kind of guessing on what the torque should actually be.
BTW - - I use ARP bolts.
