Hey guys. Just installed the 5 piece kit. I'm trying to find out the torque settings for the bolts. I haven't been able to find anything. Also should I use blue threadlocker? Thanks.
So what originally happened was I assumed they were just hand tight. After about half a day of driving the idler pulley bolt backed out and the pulley popped off.
This!Be careful. I over tightened the bf idlers years ago and snapped a bolt. I had to remove the whole bridge to reverse thread it out.
This!
Be very careful not to over tighten idler bolts. I highly recommend anyone doing their own engine work (including idler replacement) get a copy of the 2003 Mustang service manual. Proper torque specs are your friend.
Something like this you should be able to tell by hand. I have never torqued a spark plug or pulley bolts
