Belt tensioner bolt torque

Does anyone know the recommended torque for the bolt (in the upper right of the picture) that mounts the tensioner assembly to the supercharger and do you know if over torqueing will cause the assembly not to pivot and then not to tension the belt properly or do you know of problems with the assembly pivoting properly?

I found a 5/8 socket to fit better. And that was the bolt I was refering to: so 33 ft-lbs it is!

There's a 17mm that also gets 33lbs.

The 8mm gets 7lbs.
