    Hi All,
    I have a replacement 100 amp alternator in hand and
    have noticed it did not come with a pulley. I did not
    expect this, but it is probably common. Naturally I
    will remove the old pulley and put it on the
    replacement unit. This brings me to my first question.
    What is the proper torque for this pulley nut?

    I have taken some quick measurements and find the shaft
    diameter is 17mm, the nut that was provided is a 24mm and
    is rather thin at only 8mm thick, which appers to me to be
    a jam nut. I am sure that many are out there that have been
    put on with an impact tool at who knows what amount of force.
    I would prefer to do things right. Of course another issue
    is how to lock the shaft in position while the torquing is
    being done. I have looked and found that nothing that
    looks suitable to securing the shaft from rotating while the
    nut is torqued on, except a small internal spline in the
    end of the shaft itself.

    Can anyone offer torque specs for the other bolts that will
    be removed and replaced in the process?

    I have a Chiltons manual that covers this car and find it lacks
    a lot of the details. it does have some step by step photos
    showing that look like it will get me to where I can access
    the alternator now in place.

    Help much appreciated
