How many lbs. of torque is recommended for Crank Pulley

Does anyone know according to factory how many lbs. of torque to spec is needed for the Crank pulley? Say on a 1999 TL. ( didn't know if it differed from 99-03). -Thanks

Use what is suggested by UR.

Gates K060441

Steve:

Quick question for you regarding the belt: according to the UR instruction sheet, it says Alternator & Air Conditioning: Ultra S & SS Gates K060441. But for Power Steering, use Ultra S & SS Gates K040425.

So the correct crank pulley belt to use is the Gates K060441? From the wording of the instruction sheet, it sounds like this belt is for the Alternator and Air Conditioning pulley, and not for the crank pulley. I think I'm missing something here, please let me know. Thx.
