Idler pulley torque setting

[bsloan]

Good evening...I'm getting ready to replace a failing idler pulley on my 2013 Equus, but I am having trouble locating the correct torque setting. I would appreciate any help or direction so as not to overtighten it or fail to tighten it enough. Thank you.

Sometimes you have to do a little hunting to find what you need, but ive been able to find 99.9% of the procedures and torque specs for the Equus there.

Edit: Realized you said "Idler" and not "tensioner" so I went and got the correct one.

Old thread but awesome link for the shop manual there! Used it to replace the tensioner, idler, and belt on my folk's '12 Genesis R-Spec with 252k miles.

What was the reason for changing your idler? Reason asking I just changed out my serpentine belt in my ‘13 Equus and it still squeals when I start it, wondering if it could be my belt tensioner.
