Kranz Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 It doesn't say the bolt torque there, just the belt tension. I can't find the bolt torque..... yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flukey-lukey Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 found this too if anyone want to take a look (courtesy of 'supRo') http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=13938&d=1112558977 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 The idler pulley is the pulley that does nothing, its quite idle The belt just loops round it & it has a central bolt. If you haven't disturbed it then no need to know the torque! A handy hint.... If you don't know the torque of a bolt then you can mark its position with a bit of tip-ex or paint across the head and the part its bolted to, then scribe a straight line throught the middle. When you fasten the bolt back up aim to take it back to this mark excatly. Should be about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All done now (i think) it made a little 'squeek' as i started it up (cold) and then went for a blast, seems to have lost the squeek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 A short squeak is normal, its the belt adjusting itself all round the pulleys. Job well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
