Side note, keep in mind If you take off the belt pulley that bolt is reverse threaded. So to loosen is clockwise as to not break the belt. The belt pulley bolt torque is 10 nm plus 1/4 turn or 90°, but if you loosen it then it recommends replacing it with a new one.
Let us know if there's anything else.
