Thank you so much for making this. Never would've been able to fix it myself without this video.
Wow. Glad it helped.
While at it, change the PCV to prevent oil burning, and clean the Throttle Body and Mass Airflow sensor for smooth running engine. Both are easier than belt change and I have videos on them. :-)
Thank you for creating these videos. I couldn't have replaced them without your help.
Thanks for the kind feedback
Great instructions. Good detail and pointing out the potential problems. Thank you so much!!!
@@RandoUTube Good luck and let me know how it goes.
Great job. Thank you for posting this.
Thanks for the feedback. :-)
Excellent. Precise and to the point with no unneeded commentary. I wish I could spin lugnuts that fast!!!!🤣
I’d watched 3 different videos, this one is the best. He has experiences to do the job; furthermore, the music is very cheerful and beautiful.
Thanks a lot.
Wow, thank you!
Excellent demonstration.
Thank you!!!
Thank you and good luck with the work.
This has simply been the most informative video I've seen on youtube in a long while. Thank you, so much, for taking the time to show everything including tips. It's also great that you shared as much on safety, as well. Great work!!!
This made the job soooo much easier...thank you!
Great clear and precise video - thanks from Connecticut.
Glad it was helpful!
Best video I've seen so far for working on these demons. Thank you.
Also the tension bolt is 15mm
Thanks for the feedback and the torque value.
Hilarious im cracking up on the lug nut removal bit thanks that's what i needed to know
Great video. I just paid some one 2 do this for me. I wish I seen this video before I never knew that this car had an panel to take off. I would have done this job my self.. Thanks for sharing this vid.
Replacing serpentine belt is very similar in most cars, so once you learn once, you can apply it to many cars.
Very very helpful. Dealer cost is $215 to replace.
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah this is actually pretty doable DIY at home. Just be sure to follow some of the key safety points I’ve covered.
Great to the point vid. Very easy to follow. Yep, my 09 looks the same. To delete ac from the belt loop search for 54.5inch serp belt from your favorite distributor. My ac is bad and I ain't got time or money in the near future for that fix.
Great info. Not sure where you are at but here in Houston with 100 degree weather for nearly 2 months now, AC is a must. :-)
@@DIYLifeSkills Ufta, ya I would likely take a hit on the wallet with that kinda weather I guess. It's just $50 now and be able to still carry on, or stop and pay through the nose. Frankly my murano is falling apart. The tranny is definitely the elephant in the room though. I can't fudge that one. I will likely junk it. Take care in texas!
Excellent video
Thanks for the feedback
Music is great 👍 video is perfect.
Great thanks. 😄
Very good video! Going to work on our 2011 tomorrow!
Yup pretty simple work. Good luck.
Thank you you made it very easy. Great job.!
Thanks for the feedback.
Very nice video thxs for the clear directions
Good luck. Shouldn’t be too hard.
Thanks Champion 100% useful.
Great. Thanks for the feedback.
Nice video short and sweet..
Thank u
My belt just went out, literally, 5 days ago. And here I am. This is the best vid by FAR of how to. Thanks! My question is, where did you get that clean diagram from please?
Oh no, the good thing is belt change in this car is not too challenging. Just pay attention to some small details I covered in the video. And while at it be sure to spin all pulleys and you shouldn’t hear grinding noise and it should rotate straight and there is no free movement. Oh for the belt diagram. I just googled and found it I think in Murano forum.Just search for your model year in google image search. And compare it to the actual belt routing before you remove it.
Let me know how it goes.
@@DIYLifeSkills I sure will!
@@DIYLifeSkills Thank you!
The thingy you were pointing to, I think it’s the TDC pin?? Key word, “Think”.🤣
Is that what that is? Had no idea. :-)
I’m attempting to rotate the tensioner pulley clockwise of course but the two holes will not align enough for me to stick a screwdriver in there. The nut just keeps spinning and it barely rotates easing the tension and goes right back. Ideas?
Since you are going to replace the belt, you can just cut the belt. After that, you probably want to remove the tensioner pulley and examine it. I’m thinking you might have to replace the tensioner pulley as well, which is not a bad thing to do with high miles and they are pretty cheap.
I am running into the same issue. I cannot budge the tensioner at all I have had 3 people try and we cannot get the 2 holes aligned in any way.
Would cutting the belt help me to be able to remove the tensioner?
What if the two holes by the tensioner are not there? Then how do you make the belt fit?
What year and model is the car? Nearly all cars have a way to loosen the belt so that you can remove and install it back. Some cars you have to loosen the alternator to remove and install the new belt.
What if the auto-tensioner doesn’t get to the holes? I been trying but it got stuck or some and it doesn’t go all the way to the holes
Sounds like your tensioner may be defective. That hole is used to remove tension in belt so that you can remove/install belt. For removal, you can just simply cut the belt to remove it since it’s being replaced. Just be aware that tensioner could snap back so stay clear of it. For installation, you can try to rotate the tensioner pulley without the belt and if it’s still not returning back to align to the hole, then I would replace it as it’ll be much harder to install the belt safely without loosening the tension in the belt. Besides, the defective tensioner may not be stretching the belt properly in which case the belt will not last as long and you have suboptimal battery charging through alternator and AC compressor may not work properly.
My pulley tensioner don’t want to loosen the belt for anything any suggestions?
@@Buuboi214 You can just cut the old belt. And once belt is out, you can check tensioner pulley on why it’s stuck. And if necessary, you can replace the pulley.
@@DIYLifeSkills thank you so much pulley needed to be replaced. You’re a life saver.
I think the 2009 and 2010 are a litte different from the rest of the 2nd gen Murano. What is the year of this Murano?
This is 2010. As long as it’s same engine it should be same or similar. Even other Nissan’s with the same engine should be similar.
Hello. What's the fan belt number
My belt line ripped off. It looks like it was burned off and tore in half how does that happened???
Could be few things:
1) natural belt wear if it’s very old. How many miles you have in the belt?
2) one if pulley’s bearing has worn and it’s not allowing belt to rotate smoothly and chewing into edges if the belt.
Remove the belt and spin all pulleys by hand and they should all rotate smoothly with no noticeable bearing noise. Also they should not wobble, so try to move it by hand in all directions. If you have some free play, it needs to be replaced as well.
After putting new belt, observe that it’s spinning in straight line and shouldn’t make any squeaky noise.
