seems to be a simple change but i could not find a proper diy on this topic. i'm going to replace the idler and adjusting pulley for the main drive belt.i dont want to over torque and snap a bolt when putting the new pulleys on. does anyone with real experience tell me how much torque they used for the following two bolts?

finally. getting closer to an answer...although i believe the reply was geared towards a mech tensioner.

Tensioner is 18 ft. lbs. (24 nm)

Idler Pully is 33 ft. lbs (45 nm)
