Hey all,
Wonder if anyone has ever ran into this issue and/or could help me out. Was driving home today and the water pump pulley fell off while driving. I managed to recover the pulley and one of the bolts but I'm not sure what made it come so loose, maybe the bolts aren't right? The bolt I managed to recover is very short. Does anyone know the spec of the bolts that should be holding the pulley on?

Re: Water Pump Pulley fell off
The Water Pump Pulley Bolts (#M8x1.25) should be torqued to 17 ft-lbs, and probably a good idea to use Lock-Tite on them as well. Sorry, I don't know what their correct overall length is supposed to be.

Re: Water Pump Pulley fell off
That chart is very helpful, thanks! I have one of the bolts and it looks pretty weathered (it has a little bit of rust on it) so I'm thinking it may be stock. I'm going to go by the local pacific hardware and see if they have them.
