45 nM or 33 ft-lbs.

It's the same torque for all the Timing belt pulleys and the tensioner (minus the crank pulley)

Might I suggest something in a blue locktite for this bolt,..
and the seal carrrier bolts.

How would one prevent said pulley from turning?  :roll:
I got it undone by wedging a bar in it.. i don't really want to do that again.

In the past I've used an old timing belt wrapped around the pulley.  Then I clamped it with vice grips to hold it from turning.  Or you could use a tool like this:

I take a 13mm socket, put my ratchet to reverse (loosen), slip it thru one of the holes on the sprocket, and counter-hold it on one of the seal-carrier bolts. Then I torque the main bolt on the shaft.

I would strongly urge you NOT to use locktite on the bolt. If you ever want to get in there again, forget about it. It has a woodruff key. If you torque it properly, it won't come loose.

Blue is medium strength and is easy to remove.  I certainly wouldn't use red.

On _my_ diesel I use red locktite on all the bolts other than the turbo hot side. When its time to remove them, some heat will release it.

I have to agree. I use Red more than anything else.

On this specific application, the use of heat would very likely ruin the intermediate shaft seal.  There might be an instance where one would like to remove the intermediate shaft pulley without the necessity of replacing the seal thus my rationale for using blue.

Andrew

Yeah, I could see that if you had to heat it (only once did I have to heat a bolt that I used Red on) and your torch did not have a fine pointed flame to focus the flame on the bolt and not the shaft / pulley. :-)  Then again, I've used Blue many times, but lately just red as I have not had a problem removing the bolts. Your mileage may varies.
