Anyone change the deflector, AC and Idler pulley on a N62?
 

I purchased the pulleys only and was trying to figure out if there was a torque specifications for them? I was going to swap out the entire AC and Idler tensioners as a whole but they still seem to be fine. Technically the pulleys dont look to bad either but since I was working in that area I was going to swap them out. Anyone done just the pulleys? And if so what was the torque specifications?

Thanks in advance.

I've changed out the pulleys and tightened them to 'snug' with a 9" long 3/8" ratchet. The direction of rotation of the pulley is such that it tightens the bolt (if drag gets high enough), not loosening the bolt.

I do what Admranger does, but if you really want the numbers, here you go from TIS:

What led you to change them?

Thanks for the response. Thats exactly what I did. :thumbup:

Thanks for the response. Curious how do you get a copy of the TIS? That would be something good to have.

My water pump died on me and since I was at it I double checked all the belts and tensioners while I was there. If it wasn't for that I would have probably waited till they were squealing or something. Its not like they were bad but figured I Just change it while I was at it thats all.

Not a bad idea. While you're in there parts can cost you a lot of money but save you headache later. I just redid my water pump after it developed a leak from the small o-ring/small pipe connection... Replaced my radiator while I was in there since I was at 100k miles. Old one was filthy. Tensioners,hoses, and belt had been replaced not that long ago so left those (after noting the rotation direction on the belt w/a wax marker).

Yea my hoses and belts looks good and was thinking of the radiator but it still looks extremely good for its age so Im thinking it was replaced by previous owners. I just ended up replacing what I noticed could have been replaced while I was there. :thumbup:
