Hello guys..ive recently replace my zd30 y61 belt tensioner..and i need to know how much torque range needed to tighten the tensioner nut..do i need to tighten it till the tensioner cant move ?
value for the auto belt tensioner is 68-77 Nm
the value for the auto belt tensioner bracket is 25-28 Nm
I just put some nut lock on the thread and screwed it in tight. Hasn't come loose yet.
Mine was three clicks of the elbow (on an old and almost forgotten scale).
Dont let me at it then, I would end up snapping the bolt off ....:oops:Quote:

mate told me once 1/4 drive for motor bikes, 3/8 for cars and 1/2 for 4x4 and 3/4 for trucks.
not sure how right he was but seems right
Well..i tighten it till the tensioner cant move at all..and i think im doing it wrong..it didnt even move when i push the belt..thats why im asking what torque value needed for it....
I've double checked and they are the values
Sorry I know this is a very old thread but I am having a problem understanding this.Quote:

Is this correct?
Sorry for being such a dope but I have seen other references ( https://www.patrol4x4.com/posts/2381034/) to tightening the "Pivo bolt" to 78Nm which doesn't make sense to me either but seems to be the opposite to your description.
Thanks and I hope someone sees this and can help me out, thanks.
Welcome to the forum. As this is your first post. I am not game to clink on that link in your text.
The Link is along the lines ofQuote:

Do not over tighten!!!"
So that dude is saying 68-77NM for the pivot bolt. The pivot "sleeve" is attached directly to the Assembly which is kind of the opposite to the post in this forum.
Hope that clears things up.
