Fan Nut Torque
Did a search but came up empty.
 I've got two shims on the inside of my fan pulley, and four on the outside. Is there a specific torque rating for tightening the nut, or is it just tightened until it's good and snug. Thanks for the help.

The factory torque specification is 29.5 ft-lbs.

My wrench told me to tighten it as hard as possible by hand only. You don't need to kill your self tightening this nut. The engine is turning in such a way this it keeps constant pressure the right way on this nut not to loosen it. The number of shims you have is perfect. As long as the belt is firm. Not more that a 1/4" or so worth of slack when at rest.
