Unfortunately, despite hours of searching in the use of AI, I can't confirm the torque specification for the bolt that attaches the pulley bolt for the roller:

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

i'm replacing the drive belt and tensioner unit. There's lots of info on the 987.1 but this tensioner assembly on the 987.2 is more like that on the 981. The 987.2 is easier because there is no engine mount spacer to remove like the 981. Unfortunately, despite hours of searching in the use of AI, I can't confirm the torque specification for the bolt that attaches the pulley bolt for the roller: PAF008362 is the part in question. Seems like it should be 23Nm. thanks for looking. Feedback greatly appreciated!

this is what I've sorted out, much based on 997.2 sources: i'm replacing the drive belt and tensioner unit. There's lots of info on the 987.1 but this tensioner assembly on the 987.2 is more like that on the 981. The 987.2 is easier because there is no engine mount spacer to remove like the 981. Unfortunately, despite hours of searching in the use of AI, I can't confirm the torque specification for the bolt that attaches the pulley bolt for the roller: PAF008362 is the part in question. Seems like it should be 23Nm. thanks for looking. Feedback greatly appreciated! FYI, this is what i've sourced based on 997.2 videos: • Tensioner-to-coolant pump bracket (top bolt): 28 Nm / 21 ft-lb • Tensioner-to-coolant pump bracket (bottom bolt): 28 Nm / 21 ft-lb • Tensioner-to-tensioning roller carrier bolt: 23 Nm (from a Boxster S 987.2 online service manual excerpt) • Idler/roller pulley bolt: commonly cited as 23 Nm / 17 ft-lb based on 997/987 shared data FCP Euro is giving me a much higher for the pulley, but I don't think that's correct

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
