If you look under the torque for the belt tensioner it shows deflection pulley to alternation as 40nm or 30 ft lbs, I'm claiming this is poor translation and actually means the torque for the idler pulley. (non alternator). Based on the evidence I posted above.


The torque for the alternator idler pulley is 59 ft lbs and this is not disputed.
Yes I know how to do a conversion (I'm familiar with the metric system).
It wasn't really clear which pulley you meant.
I thought you meant the idler pulley attached to the alternator, which is 59ft lbs.
This diy is talking about replacing that idler pulley on the alternator and the belt tensioner, so I didn't know you meant something else.
