But how big are the holes? Will a 1/4" drive 8mm socket fit down the holes?

SYT_Shadow Oh btw, re the op, it still has the error about 12 point sockets vs bi-hex, bi-hex sockets are 12 point sockets, they're the same thing .
Btw you mention qt in brackets in the torque settings, I thought qt was for quarts, a US fluid measurement, but you have it for the reinforcement plate bolts too, so what's qt?
I removed the bi-hex comments

QT means quantity. The torque value is in Nm at the end of each line

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do. If you mean use a 1/4 extension, the 1/4 extension fits in the holes fine, but the socket is too fat to get inside the hole.
