Can you let me know a little more detail about what you are looking for?

You are looking to change the pulley on the alternator, so you need the torque spec or on it? Or are you looking for the size of the bolt?

Here is a guide that will help with changing the alternator if that is of assistance:

I am attaching the details from the manual on the alternator replacement, but we don't have a spec on the actual nut because you are actually not supposed to remove that.

This pulley is installed on the shaft using a specific tool that holds the pulley still and torques the nut. If you don't use this, then you can damage the shaft of the alternator and the bearing will fail prematurely. So don't use an impact wrench as this will surely damage the bearing.

Let me know more details about this and we can go from there.

Thanks
