Idler Pulley Bolt torque spec

[jackstraw78]

Replaced idler pulley on my 02 XLT and was wondering if there is a torque specification on the bolt. I was told by one person 18 ft/lbs and another said "tight" which didn't help. Searched all over the forums and found nothing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome aboard.

4.6L = 18 lb-ft and 4.0L = 35 lb-ft.

Thank you very much. I'll will tighten it up since I had it at 18 lb-ft and I have the 4.0L.

Simple job to do and saves me money since the dealer wanted around 80 bucks to do it!
