I just blew the clutch on mine and had it hauled home. I looked at this and I guess it would be easier to put my 49 Studebaker back on the road for the winter.

Just saved me $300, thanks!

Our own is 2015

Fan belt nissan extrail (without steering pump)

Agree while it was difficult the xtrail I worked on lost the code for the immobiliser and had to call someone out to get the immobiliser removed only special tool that was used was a clutch aliment tool

I had a squeeky belt and had someone change the belts. However the squeek is still there. Its only present on start up when the engine is warm the noise goes. Could it be the tensioner ?

My E25 van has the same engine. Thanks for this.

Awesome, thanks👍

Great thanks a lot. I was expecting to have to at least loosen the alternator as I used to have to do on my old British sports cars.

Some good info there! Well done.

Thanks buddy just fixed my car p12 has the same xtrail engine

Thanks Ross changed my belt today bloody superstar!

Briliant, Respect Sir you just solved one of my problems Thanks

The is a great idea, but it requires you to lift the car high enough to clear the engine when its lowered. You clearly show how to hoist the engine up from the ground, but you fail to mention how you lifted your car's front end up so high. In the video you can see something else you fabricated, but no mention of it in the video. It would have helped to include it in the video.

The dolly wheels were-- were! plastic and around 40mm in size. They worked well for a few years, they were used to put under the wheels of the car and shuffle the car up against the wall.. I will be using bigger wheels next time to give better rolling resistance.

What size casters are those for your car dolly’s?

I'd consider dropping whole sub frame next time and do the engine mounts whilst at it, the car is now at 325,000km and have taught a learner hill starts which wasnt the best idea for the clutch and will probably see it out, as the entire car is wearing out well and truly bit by bit. Plastic bits are starting to break on it randomly seemingly on 2 week intervals. The radiator plastic top got fine cracks in it which I replaced with a Mirage radiator? yep! The glove box hinge broke and the selector lever on the heater that turns from hot to cold went a couple of months ago, annoyingly the plastic toggle that holds the fuel cap broke off a few weeks ago as well. Its developed an oil leak at the back of the motor and the doors sometimes wont unlock randomly, but still what amazes me by the quality is the exhaust and suspension components that are still excellent I mean 325'000Km out of an exhaust and ball joints when used with no care on dirt tracks...Wow- thanks to the Nissan engineers on that front.

wow..I feel your pain. how many KMs did the previous clutch take? would you do anything differently next time.

I'm getting my clutch on Thursday on eBay it is little bit cheaper from my local shop next couple of days I'll be taking the gearbox out and I won't have fun with my arthritis in lower back 😥😥😥😥😥😥 thank you showing your video to give people how to do it

where your showing a 14 mm spanner on the 2015 xtrail I'm trying to fix the tensioner has a Torx fitting and that's a right bastard

Thanks for making my mind up 😳

Mine just snapped, so will be doing it tomorrow if the parts store has 1 in stock

Thx for video.. was taking the box out uesterday, wery helpful video.. parabobly saved me a day of headache.

Honestly, this idea it's too much work for diy project.

"Stacking Functions" is a good word for multi-tasking your tools

The belt is not a timing belt. The timing belt or rather the timing chain is further inside the engine.

i have just trashed the gearbox or transfer on my 2.2 dci and i have to do that project in the near future my self Looks "fun" :(

M8 awsome video. On my 6th day today..what a nightmare.!

My bro was saying do that at the junkyard with a large long axle because Jack's army allowed. What would u use there?

Bro im learning to be a mechanic and this car is my worst nightmare rn but i did it all im missing is sum bolts

Thanks for the vidio

Awesome!👍

Try dropping the sub frame noob.

Did the transfer case and gearbox come out in one? Or do you have to separate the transfer box from the gearbox?

Thank you for posting amazingly simple, I would have been one of those suckers paying 100s for a grease monkey to do an easy job

Should have dropped it all intact on the cradle then seperated it on the floor as the workshop manual recommends.

I'm currently fixing one at home that had a blown motor, had to swap the whole sub-assembly then put it back in to find out the clutch was rooted (seller told us it was good), so doing this job now, and jee I regret even laying eyes on the thing.

Thsnx mate mike scotland ....

Just to update ive just been tackling a clutch change on an xtrail today best way is if you have access too a ramp you do think about doing it yourself you need to remove the subframe first then remove propshaft remove drive shafts remove gear linkages separate the front transfer box from the gearbox then remove starter then undo the bolts in the bell housing started about 11am this morning and gearbox was out on floor buy 5pm today the reverse job in morning

Was the time scale 5 days, you contiucely working on this xtrail or where you doing a day job as I have one todo in the next week

Hmmm , does it raise it high enough to do all you need to do ? I suppose one could build that beam even higher just by adding some more steel

Thanks so much for video and advice. I have exact problem with X-trail 2007 2.2dci

Was going to buy one needing a clutch. Not now thanks

Thanks tons, mate! This worked a treat! Brian, from Durban, South Africa!

Brilliant idea.. thank you sir

That is a lot of work compared to buying a 200 dollar cherry picker.

Why I certainly won’t be attempting mine if it ever needs a new clutch, but respect to you for sticking with it

Clever

I’m just using it to hang my heavy bag thx
