Does anyone know what the torque amount is on the lower stock blower pulley bolt. It's the allen bolt that holds the pulley/cage to the crank. Thanks Jeff

 

but it's a bunch! I couldn't break it loose when changing to a PSP pulley so a friend had to do it for me. Must be 150+?

According to my Ford Manual, it's a four step process. This indicates a torque to yield bolt. Are you using a new bolt?

My Ford manual says the following for the crankshaft pulley.

Step 1: torque to 66 lbs.
Step 2: Loosen 360 degrees
Step 3: Torque to 35-39 lbs
Step 4: tighten another 85-90 degrees

It also says under the Lightning section "tighten auxillary crankshaft pulley to 75 lbs".

It doesn't specifically call the aux. pulley the blower drive pulley.

I believe you must follow the first proceedure if you remove the large center bolt that holds the pulley(s) on the crank.

Hope this helps.

 

Jay,

If it's a torque to yield bolt aren't you suppose to not reuse them?
I'm not sure.

 

That is correct. Do not reuse torque to yield bolts. They will not read correctly.
