Default Tensioner Pulley torque

Just wondering if anyone knows the torque spec for the main belt tensioner pulley. I'm not talking about he bracket bolts, put the bolt that goes through the pulley? Also, how do you guy tighten them? When you go clockwise, the pulley goes forward with it. Do you just stick a pry bar in there to prevent it from moving? Thanks in advance.

Turn it until the tensioner maxes out then you can tighten the bolt.

Did you change the pulley?

Okay that's actually what I did, just wanted to make sure it was the correct way. I changed the pulley because I actually melted part ot it trying to heat up a broken bolt lol.
