50NM feels like a lot for an 8mm bolt in to aluminium doesn't it?

Would it be better done up guten tite with a dab of retaining compound ?

I’d do what it says in RAVE. Have you checked that?

What were you trying to undo? That looks like an idler pulley not the aircon pulley, I'll have to go take a look.

I'm not very good with the diesel.... but are these the figures we're looking for?

I think you maybe my long lost twin.
Wangled it
Don’t touch the gearbox filler plug!
May still have few EZ outs in the shed

Plenty of conflicting info based on parent materials and bolt tensile but will give an idea. L'otite is always a good adage if in doubt.

I copied this guy. But you're right. I didn't use my common sense to question it:
Go to 4:23 onwards.

50 seems a lot to me. I don't have a doozle but I can't see reference to that much torque anywhere....? Maybe I'm looking at the wrong thing? Spent some time today helping torque down @Grrrrrr 's head bolts and that's terrifying enough! In, out, 80NM, 90 degrees, undo them all, 50NM, 90, 90 again! It's like one of those Japanese puzzles...
Someone should mention it on his video in the comments!
Anyhoo, enough of this, did you get the stub out!!!????

It takes 24h I think for the putty to set so I'll try tomorrow. I won't work but I just need to prove it to myself. I'll spray some penetrative oil on iif not then hopefully I can find someone to help weld a nut on it, Monday. Anyone near me in Ryton with a wielder?

I don't know how much room you've got, but might you get a drill and one of those Irwin Stud Extractor tools in there? I've had some success with them. A welded nut is better though!

Yeah I've got one of those mini screwdriver drills & a screw extractor set, but like you say the room to get in is very tight. The extractor sets are double ended too which makes it longer. I could cut one un half and see if it'll fit

If you get to that point on the video there ia a box that pops up in the top right hand side with what looks like a correction made to 23nm

There’s not a lot of room. Get your hand in there with scraped knuckles. Can slide sheet of cardboard down there so you don’t ding the rad

There is at the start but I can't see where he corrects the error to 23nm. Where in the video does he put the correction?If you get to that point on the video there ia a box that pops up in the top right hand side with what looks like a correction made to 23nm

Still seems high to me. I woulda guessed around 15, book seems to suggest 10, but there’s no actual torque for the idlers from what I can see. As long as it dont come out it just needs to be snug. I’ve never heard of one rattling off
Notice the fan to coupling bolts (not rivets)

Anything attached to that ally head you just tease tight using your fingertips. It is as soft as cheese. The block is more solid but still don't put your weight on it.

50nm for an 8mm into aluminium is asking for it
