Question FD Torque Specs - all pulleys

The title says it all really,

I've completed a total coolant system overhaul now it's time to put the belts back on.


I scoured the FSM and haven't come across torque specs for any of the pulleys. The only one I don't need is the alternator because I didn't remove that pulley


Thanks guys

If it's not in the FSM, then apparently it's not super critical. The main and water pump pulley are secured with the typical 10mm flanged bolts. Common sense prevails. I think the tensioner pulley locks down the inner collar of the bearing, I'm not sure I ever really checked torque on that either...just good and snug. And IIRC the PS pulley is plastic but grooved, so no need to go crazy on it either.

Well, 1) I posted here because it seemed like an impossibly dumb question and I didn't want to get flamed and.
2) My experience with car forums has taugt me that some of the most senior and knowledgeable members lurk the new member forums to help newbies, thus a quick and correct reply.


Thanks Sgt Blue - I just wanted to make sure before I cranked the suckers tight and caused some parasitic drag.
