Thank you! This video was so well done and easy to follow. I was afraid this job was going to be harder than it looked! PRO TIP FOR THOSE WATCHING: Make sure to follow the assembly steps in the exact order. For the AC belt make sure the screw/adjustment rod is in the bracket with the idler pulley before you put it in! Make sure the idler pulley screw is loose! Just as in the video: 1. put the bracket in and loosely put in the two screws to the bracket 2. put the belt 3. adjust the screw until you get the tension you want 4. Tighten the pulley, and the two bolts If you do things out of order... it will not work, as me how I know, I probably did every single possible combination wrong and only got it right until the last time.
For what it’s worth, after owning one of these for 12 years, I’ve found it’s just much easier to give up and take the tire and splash guard off to work on the belts
@@Marty09933 Thank you Awesome detail. I dont think it's necessary to take those two pully mount bolts out only loosen the middle but I could be wrong. Somebody was in a rush to finish up and get back to play station ;-)
@@WV591 I haven’t done a water pump on that vehicle, but I believe it has like seven bolts holding the pump sometimes that pump will get stuck and you have to tap it loosen it loose and it’ll come out
Attempting this with snow on the ground, 19 degrees and windy, nowhere to sit or lay down. I can't jack the car to take the wheel off. This set up is an absolute joy. The set screw at the front of the engine was rusted up pretty good so I ended up just taking the whole thing off to soak in some wd-40. We'll see how it goes.
Hi AlKaseltzer oh man that sucks but I hear you brother. I’ve done a few snow jobs myself. Good idea soaking that bolt . That’ll help it. Good luck. Hope it all works out thank you very much for watching. I appreciate you.
@@Marty09933 Everything worked out. I got everything through the top, being small with small hands helped a lot too. I appreciate the detail you put in the video, before, I didn't really understand how those worked. Thank you for a great video.
Thank you so much for this video. My belt had for some reason jumped off and I noticed it while I was about to head to work and I managed to get it back on with this video despite me knowing very little about fixing cars
None of the videos in UA-cam show the proper procedure. When changing the AC belt in a normal situation (meaning, when the adjustment bolt does not break), the two 14mm bolts holding the idler bracket do not have to be touched. To remove belt all you have to do is loosen (do not remove) the bolt holding the idler pulley (center of the idler pulley) and then undo the long 8mm adjustment bolt as needed to remove and replace belt. Adjust the new belt with the long 8mm bolt as needed and re- tighten the pulley bolt; no bolts have to come out!!! Same thing with the power steering belt, except you have to lossen two nuts and the long adjustment as needed. It isn't necessary to remove the tire or the engine cover; that's just extra work. Replacing both belts can be done from the top!!! GOD SPEED
For future people watching this. The idler pulley nut is what secures the tensioner screw on the alternator side. This is why when he was trying to adjust the screw it broke. When changing the belt loosen that nut and the 8mm screw will move easier for tightening the belt then re-tighten that nut when done and it won’t move on you. You won’t need to remove or loosen the bracket nuts at all if you do this. Hope that makes sense and good luck out there.
Thanks a lot men, this is going to be my first time changing my belts and of all the videos I seen, yours been the most helpful and real clear step by step, thank you so much men 🙏🏼
My tensioner bolt broke too! Luckily the friend helping me could weld it back together. On my car, I can just loosen the center bolt on the pulley, then loosen the tension bolt to take the belt off. No need to mess with the bracket. The one you were working on looks like the tension pulley was already all the way back. Great video! I've done it before, but I definitely needed to refresh my memory.
That is the preferred method from what I've seen, but still a fine tutorial video. Also the torque on idler pulley is about 20lb/ft, and the rear lock nut about 17lb/ft. according to the FSM. Keep motorin'!
Thanks for this video it's exactly what I needed. The only trouble I'm having now is that I can't find a tensioner bolt online anywhere. Would you be able to share where you got it?
Hi Codysallee6495 yes that is a hard bolt to find. I had trouble finding it too Let me see if I can get this right and send you this link and you’re welcome brother and thank you for watching a really appreciate you…………,,,,,,…….parts.nissanofwichitafalls.com/p/Belt-Tensioner-Bolt/89399305/11916-4M50A.html?referer=parts.nissanusa.com&machineIDT1=fkvja2gpkcfdk3ggqvsqogjb
Incredible video! Loved the description/explanation. Plus the video was perfect. Quick question. If I didn't want to have AC in my car, what would the steps be exactly? Do I remove the idler pulley in the front? Do you know what size the smaller belt would be? Other than eliminating AC, is there a concern with bypassing the AC? Thanks!
Hi JovanEvtimovski I don’t remember the set up on that vehicle but you should be able to get a smaller belt. I don’t know if you have to take that pulley off and you’ll just have to guess on the belt size I’ve done it on old-school pick ups 350s I just had to go to AutoZone like twice measuring and trying to get the right belt Thank you for watching. I really appreciate you.
Im struggling. I already loosen the tensioner bolt. But it wont work can't get off the power steering belt. I'm going to replace the alternator belt. Any help i really appreciate. Ty
@@ronaldobartolata3775 sorry to hear you're having trouble with the power steering belt try loosening the bolt more or even all the way when moving the pump if you have to use a pry bar to get more leverage power if nothing else if you can get some of the belt over the pulley you can turn the crankshaft with a wrench or rachet till it pops off and do the same putting it on .look at my video on BMW 09 X5 3.0 A/C belt. hope that helps good luck
the exact same thing happened to my tensioner bolt and in the same exact spot swell. I replaced it and the car is back not the road. it sat at my dealership for two weeks but to got done eventually lmao
Hi Love Trump your welcome a million. Make sure your bolt didn’t break. Try taking off the whole Assembly like I did . Thank you for watching I appreciate you
@@Marty09933 Great....am under hood now (well almost-short break) and grateful for that hint. Resorted now to taking everything back off, will check it now. THANKS again!
