1988 K75C White 205k Alternator damper cup nut torque spec

Hello,

Removed my dead alternator fan and damper cup. Nut came off with impact wrench. Damper cup and fan were pleasantly easy to remove. Now it is time to install them on the refurbished one.

Clymer's doesn't have a torque value for the nut (shown). I'm not finding it on a search here or in Tech. I found this spec on the web (shown). Does 37 ft lbs. sound correct to those that have gone down this path before me?

Thanks in advance,
Pete

BMW factory spec. (From BMW factory repair manual) is 45nm +/- 6.

That converts to 33 ft/lb +/- 4.

37 ft/lb would work fine.:thumb

Just an FYI for that torque chart - the upper and lower fork pinch bolt recommendations are reversed. Everything else worked great as a reference (and was comparable to my Haynes when possible) through my K75 wrenching/ownership.

Great catch dreno66,:thumbView attachment 75190
I've edited the spec chart, deleted the prior post, and have posted it again with the correction. It now agrees with my Clymer as well.
