2006, 2.4 engine.
Fixing to do this job in the next few days and trying to get all my duckies in a row. Could not find anything anywhere and google was no help. Also any tips would be greatly appreciated as this is my first time doing it (ovbiously!)

Thank you so much you guys in advance.

 

There is a thread with torque specs in the how-to forum.

 

Just tighten the bolts so they don't break.
This is not a NASA project.

 

I'm not sure you could get a torque wrench in there if your life depended on it. It's a tight space.

 

Snug the bolts then just a little bit more, if you want 30 ft/lbs is sufficient, I had a look but couldn’t find actual torque specs, I will check my Chilton manual when I get home.

 

Kinda weird how this thread popped up today. My alternator just died as well. Let's see how, that's the transmission, the starter, and the alternator now all within 3 months of buying the car. I'm having second thoughts! 😂😭
