Torque setting for upper Alternator/idler bolt?
'93 525i M50 engine, E34 chassis.
I am going to replace the upper (alternator) idler pulley this afternoon and I cannot find the torque setting for the LONG bolt that retains the idler and upper alternator mounting.
Any clues?
Maybe I'm not seeing it but I looked several times through the Bentley and cannot find it.
Thanks for the help.

tight but not too tight. kinda what I would have guessed if there wasnt a specific torque rating.

Basically just torque it down until you become un easy about turning the ratchet from any more than a 2 - 3" long handle.

Done! Replaced the idler pulley and both tensioner pulleys.
NO sweat.
The tensioner pulley for the water pump/A-C/P-S was a bit of a pain to get to but the other two were a breeze.
Thanks for the input, folks.
