Hello fellow jeepsters,
Newbie here, does anyone know the torque spec for the idler pulley bolt that threads into the upper mounting bracket? Mine loosened out and ruined the aluminum bracket. I'm getting another one, but, wanna make sure it's tightened correctly. Thanks in advance for any help!

You can repair the bracket with a Heli-Coil, just for future reference (I've gotten a lot of use out of Heli-Coil products over the years! It's worth noting that a Heli-Coil-repaired thread in aluminum is often stronger than the original aluminum thread... Used to install them as a matter of course when doing a Buick V8-215 overhaul on pretty much all engine screws...)
