A/C Compressor Bracket Torque Spec?

mcsweeto · 09-30-2023, 11:52 AM

When doing my accessory belt today, my dumb ass suddenly forgot how a torque wrench works and the threads where the idler pulley inserts went 'poof'. Now I get to take more stuff apart.

I have to replace the bracket where the A/C compressor mounts underneath the alternator. Anyone know the torque specs on those bolts?

Thanks.

If anyone else manages to do this, you need the bracket that hangs off the alternator that the A/C compressor is mounted to.

I dropped the compressor to get access to the 5 13mm bolts that attach the bracket. I have a new one coming on Tuesday to finish this up.
