I'm replacing a worn idler pulley and I struggle to find the torque spec for this sucker.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

guys, sanity check here.
I removed what i would call the lower pulley during my water pump replacement. Green arrow in photo. question on torque spec. I will copy the sentences from Pelican below but my question is that it says lower pulley is tightened to 17 ft-lbs. The reason for my question is in the first sentence it says for bolts M10x145 (8.8) should be 34 ft-lbs. My lower pulley bolt is a M10x145 (8.8). So due to the location would it be less torque or is it 34 due to bolt size? thanks

"simply install the bolts and tighten to 34 ft-lb (46 Nm) for the upper bolt if it's an M10x145 (8.8) bolt or 48 ft-lb (65 Nm) if it's an M10x145 (10.9). The lower pulley is tightened to 17 ft-lb (23 Nm)."
Not sure what you meant by due to its location but I tightened mine to 34 ftlb per the spec you quoted and it's no problem.
Yes, torque spec is a function of bolt size (shank size) and grade.
Ahsai. Read your response again and by location I meant the location of the pulley in question being the lower one where pelican states 17 ft-lbs. That's where I was getting confused on bolt size and torque requirements.
So did you also torque your lower one to 34?
