reinstalling pulleys, help quick

I need some help quick, i am reinstalling the waterpump,fan, pulley right now, and didn't stop to think? Are there any torque requirements for these bolts? i would hate to over tighten them or even undertighten them. Please somebody let me know.

i've never torqued them.. just tighten them down with a 3/8 short ratchet and go for it.. maybe put a dab of blue loctite on them if you're worried...

That's a 1/2" head, right. If I had to guess, a good number is probably 35ft-lbs. But, that's just a guess. Locktight is not a bad idea.

When belted up, the pulley tends to stay in place, regardless of how tight the bolts are. Don't ask me how I know that :-)
