2014 Nissan Altima serpentine belt and tensioner replacement

When I went searching to find a video for this I didn't find one that was clear, so I decided to make one. Hopefully I am clearly showing how to replace the serpentine belt and tensioner. This is on my 2014 Altima but is going to be similar for a lot of other models and makes of car.
If you just want to see about replacing the belt, go to 6:06.
The belt and tensioner I bought are both Gates brand from Rockauto. I recommend only using a good quality name brand belt. I have found Gates belts to last a long time.

Great video! How long did it take you to swap? Looks fairly simple thanks to your awesome video. Have a strange noise coming from one of the pulleys and i believe the tensioner pulley is the culprit. Ordered sams combination you have here.

Thank you. I couldn't find a single clear video on this for my Altima when I went to do mine. I'd say it took me maybe 1 1/2 hrs all in including getting the car up, wheel cowl unclipped and pulled back, etc. It's not really a hard job. Make sure you have extra clips on hand because guaranteed some of those buggers will break.

Thank you! Have some extra clips I bought a whole back.

The Gates tensioner is currently $46.79 + shipping/tax at Rock Auto.

Thanks for the video! Did you just hand tighten the mounting bolts or is there any torque specs for it?

[@HowToDoStuf]

Thank you. I didn't see a torque spec form them so yes I just tightened them down snug.

Thank you. I try to make things as confusing and difficult as possible. 😊

Thank you mine just gave out at the light 😅know I know so I won't struggle as much 😅

Oh that's no fun. Much better to work on a car at home in the garage than to be stuck!

[@imyodad3589]

Thank you! My tensioner started to fall apart 😂 so Ima do mine today

[@HowToDoStuf]

Just make sure you do pull back the wheel cowl. It makes this so much easier.

[@shakysliders1689]

Any reason a mechanic's shop should quote me $900 to do this replacement? This looks pretty simple.

[@HowToDoStuf]

You have got to be kidding me. It isn't hard at all for anyone with some mechanical sense, some decent sockets, and a floor jack. That is a t-total rip off. For that kind of money I should be doing that kind of work.

He skipped something that is very important. Isnt that easy to put the new one back in. Gotta remove the power steering pully

[@HowToDoStuf]

I'm not sure why you are saying you have to remove the PS pulley. I replaced mine without doing so with no problem.
