Default What torque in NM?

Does anyone know what torque the bottom pulley bolt should be when I put it back on after changing my timing belt?

It's a Sapphire Cosworth 4x4 1991 (J Red top YB)

Thanks!

Job done

Had to go out and buy a 230v Impact wrench to shift the pulley bolt!

Pulley itself came off no bother. The belt took about 2.5 hours to do, thats including draining the coolant off, dropping radiator, underbody tray, timing belt cover and new tensioner.

The belts Ford supllied me with for the Alternator were to small so only good for Power steering.

I had to put the old belts back on and ones cracking and missing a tooth

Best get to Halfords soon

There is only about 20mm clearance from the radiator to the bottom pulley bolt + I needed to get a 3 legged puller on the pulley. No way I could have done it with the radiator on.

Be VERY careful when using a puller on these, the thing you should have done with the pulley off is to take out the woodruff key and apply valve lapping paste to crank nose and lap a bit, this would mean no more getting stuck, my pulley can be slid off with just moderate hand pressure.
That way in future just remove fans, and can do it all easier no coolant issues.
