Torque Specs HELP
Serpentine Belt Guide Pulley Torque Specs needed.
Would anyone kindly be able to help me with the exact torque specs of the following 4 guide pulleys in changing with my belt. My tensioner is fine so I'm not replacing it. I've searched around here and getting conflicting info. Some day 20Nm others say 25Nm. I assume blue medium threadlock also?

Thread lock will impact the torque setting slightly vs dry torque, locktite recommendation is to reduce torque 20% when torquing with a lubricant vs dry. Mercedes doesn't call for a thread locker but if it makes you feel better using some just reduce your torque settings a little so you don't over torque it due to the reduced friction of the liquid thread lock. If you use the paste I think you can use the full torque values.
