The quicker method would have been to start with placing the short extension in the tensioner hole when placing the belt on. This is a pretty easy job overall.
Hey buddy did you happen to ever replace the alternator? I’m basically there but I need to remove the tensioner to get to the 2nd screw it’s a nightmare right about now
I'm responding to this only because I don't want anyone to be conflicted by your statement. I owned this car for 7 years and did all of the maintenance myself. It's a 3.5 SL trim package with the VQ35DE engine (v6). I couldn't tell you what the prior generation v6 (4th gen 2007-2012) engines belt set up was, but mine is the 5th gen v6 (2013-2018).
Put the belt around the alternator or the crank last so you can be unobstructed with the pulley 😊
Great video! This is the best video on serpentine replacement for the Altima 3.5.
Thank you
great video. keep up loading some other thing that you did to your altima
Thanks for the appreciation. I sold this car several months ago, so I don't have any more content on it.
people need to run the car so us regular ass folks can hear what a shitty belt sounds like.
Thanks!
Thanks
Is the new belt the same size? I need a belt a half inch shorter because I’m doing an alternator upgrade
I used an oem replacement that was the correct size. I don't recall comparing the sizes side by side.

I never had to on this car. Good luck with it!
The 4 cylinder is different set up 2014
Not a 3.5, v6 has different belt system
