I had to remove oil pump gear for front main seal replacement. I can't find the torque value for the nut on the oil pump gear in the wsm. Did a quick search on the site here and didn't see it either. A little help? Thanks guys.

IIRC the threaded end of the oil pump shaft is 10mm. All 10mm engine fasteners get 30-34 ft.lbs unless otherwise stated.

Others may have different recommendations, but I would advise using red Loctite on the threads. It's worth the peace of mind IMO.

30ft lbs is correct.

Thanks guy's. TB complete. Now just waiting on parts to complete the job. Wasn't as bad as I anticipated.
Just have to remember to torque the crank bolt when I get the engine back in the car. :-D
