Need the proper nut for the power steering pulley

First off, thanks for all your help with with my previous problem with the p/s belt coming off and helping me get it on. . Now I have it on and it's as tight as the belt right behind it. .
NOW FOR MY PROBLEM. WHERE can. I I obtain a nut for the pulley.. that's how it popped off to begin with

 

The reason this whOle problemishes started was there was no nut on the pulley... Noone can help me with what size nut to put on? And does it need a washer and how much should I torque it

 

There are parts catalogs at http://parts.toyotaofdallas.com/ and http://www.villagetoyotaparts.com/, but they don't show the nut. The repair manual shows a flanged nut with no washers, torqued to 32 ft-lb. Try the dealer parts counter.

Alternatively you can measure the threaded shaft (probably M8, M10, or M12) and buy a nut from the hardware store. Add a washer if you don't use a flanged nut.

 

Thanks so much.

 

It helps A LOT if you say what year and engine you have!

Go to www.toyotapartsdeal.com, put in your VIN, then look under Power Train/Chassis...Vane Pump & Reservoir (Power Steering). Find the part called Nut(For Vane Pump Pulley).

Then go to this thread

https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...-thread-compiled-list-of-helpful-links.95271/

Find the download link for the repair manual for your year Tacoma. Look in there to find the torque for the nut.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

 

I would suggest in the future you get a thread gage...this will give you the thread size, and make matching a nut up far easier. Try to get a high strengh nut vs Tractor Supply Bin quality

A decent quality thread gage from say, www.mcmaster.com is about $25 and I consider it a basic machinist tool.
