Hey all, I am looking for pictures of the A/C P/S bracket nuts that hold the assembly on. I looked through the service manual and It has nothing regarding the install of this bracket. I am really just looking for the nuts that hold it on as I belive I am missing these. Any help would be appreciated. Here is a picture of the bracket that I am talking about. Thanks

I still have mine unbolted right now, I'll take a picture of the nuts when I get home, but it should be pretty easy to figure out. The studs on the driver's side of the engine should already be there (unless they were removed for some reason) and then you just have to find some nuts that fit on those studs. The 4 raised threaded holes are for the A/C compressor to bolt into, and the 3 on top positioned like a semi-circle are for the power steering. The rest of the holes are mounting points for the bracket to the engine, except for that one hole beneath the power steering holes. I believe that one has a bolt that attaches to the alternator bracket or something else around that area. But like I said, I'll check when I get home.

Here:



The two bolts are m10x1.25 and it should be 25mm long

I borrowed the above picture, rotated it 90 degrees so it's not sideways, and added some notes.
Basically, you need (the following are socket sizes, not the actual size of the stud & thread): one 12mm nut, two 14mm nuts, one 17mm nut, and two 14mm bolts. But take a look at the attached pic and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Bumping an old thread instead of making a new one. Does anyone know the torque specs for the nuts/bolts on that bracket? I've got mine put back together but not torque'd. I can't find the torque specs in the FSM.

Thanks

Just good and tight. Torque is not critical for those fasteners, just as long as they're tight enough and not going anywhere.

When putting this all back together you may want to attach the PS pump to the bracket, install the pulley and install the whole thing for mock up.

There is a little play front to back in the bracket, and it's a good idea to know just where the bracket should be so the pulleys line up. Easy to tell when you put a belt on it.
