Question S6 Alternator Pulley Torque Spec?

Anyone know the torque spec for this part? I've done a search and haven't been able to find anything. Thanks

Are you asking about the amount of rotating resistance at the pulley or the tightening torque spec for the nut to secure the pulley?

The tightening torque spec for the nut to secure the pulley, please.

Hit it with an impact gun until it seems good. It's not super tight, the torque spec may be high-ish but you really can't use a torque wrench on it properly.

It's damn near impossible to put the nut on or remove it without an impact gun. If you don't have one, first off think about buying one, either an air compressor and an impact gun or a 18v 1/2" drive impact gun - Craftsman has a nice one that's reasonably priced. If all else fails, take the thing to a local starter/alternator repair shop and have them shoot it on. They'll probably do it for free.

You did not search very hard as I found it in less than 10 minutes.
