Is there any pit falls or anything that usually is seized when replacing front shocks

If working on axle stands undo the main lower bolts one each side before lifting road wheels clear. they are very tight and I think need to be retorqued to 330nm?

When replaced and lowered a serious torque wrench needed for that asap after completion.
