Need torque spec for 10 mm bolt on AC compressor pulley/clutch (1 Viewer)

Like the title says. I can't find this torque spec in FSM.

Not sure this is what you're looking for, but my copy of the 2020 FSM has:

(e) Install the compressor washer(s) and magnet clutch hub.

NOTICE:

Do not change the combination of the compressor washer(s) used before disassembly.

(f) Using SST, hold the magnet clutch hub and install the bolt. SST: 09985-00270 Torque: 18 N·m {184 kgf·cm, 13 ft·lbf} NOTICE: Make sure that there is no foreign matter or oil on the compressor shaft, bolt, and clutch hub

Is it 10mm head or 10mm diameter thread? If 10mm head and M6 bolt 13lb-ft is way too much. Usually M6 is closer to 7lb-ft

It’s a 10mm bolt head (I.e. socket size)

Yes, this is what I’m looking for but mine is a 2013. What section of FSM did you find that in? My FSM shows the compressor mounting bolt torque values on the engine assembly diagram but it doesn’t include the pulley bolt.

It's in two places.

1st Place: In the General section, under Specifications, then Heating/Air Conditioning. then Torque Specs -- scroll down to compressor.

2nd place: Under Vehicle Interior, then Heating and Air Conditioning, then Compressor, then Reassembly -- scroll to section 1f.

If you PM me an email address I can send you the PDF and you can compare to your truck.

Says 13ft/lb for my 2013 FSM. If that’s really a 10mm socket it is surprisingly high torque, but that’s what it says.

The nut/bolt on the center of the clutch pulley, to be clear.

At that torque holding back on the hub without damaging it might be a challenge

Thanks guys. It is a 10mm socket (M6 bolt). When I had initially reinstalled it, I had glanced at the FSM page I had open for the the front of the engine and mistakenly go 32 ft-lb. Luckily, it just felt like way too much as I was cranking down on it and I stopped and then realized I got the wrong value. Here's a pic for future reference.
