You’re welcome

[@marsmars9130]

[@houstontexaslivingth]

Thank you so much for the video!! Was so hard to find a video that wasn’t on just changing the belt

[@CoopersAutomotiveRepair]

Glad to be of help I’m glad you me

[@albino4015]

Great video. Very thorough. I'm planning on doing that too. Any tips on how to replace the idler pulley right above, to the left. Does it involve any motor mounts removal, lowering or raising of engine, any tips? Thanks

[@CoopersAutomotiveRepair]

Wish I could help on that one but I actually haven’t replaced one of those wish you the best

@@CoopersAutomotiveRepair Thanks for your reply.

[@andrespaucar2158]

Absolutely love the video definitely the best one I've seen you've got another subscriber. One questions though 1) would i have to tighten the 13mm bolts to a specific torque or is it ok to just hand tighten the tensioner?

[@CoopersAutomotiveRepair]

I never told tensioner belt so yes just by feel

[@CoopersAutomotiveRepair]

Torque

Just did this job again on the same car. 135k miles. Daughter said she heard a "thunk" and some dash indicators came on. The first replacement was a cheap one with a year warranty. The pivot arm actually snapped in two and the pulley was missing! Got a lifetime warranted one this time... That top bolt sux! Can you put an extension through those holes in the frame?

[@CoopersAutomotiveRepair]

This was the first one that I have actually done that’s a good question but I don’t know the answer thanks for watching

[@condor5635]

No - they don't line up apparently with an extension going through one of the holes. The better option I have heard is remove the pulley on the new and old one which clears access to the bolt. :)

[@jameskowalski7210]

If you only wrap the belt around the pulleys by hand,what puts the tension on the belt ? does the metal pin get removed and that will put tension on it ? thanks in advance!

[@CoopersAutomotiveRepair]

Yes when you pull the pinReleases the spring to tighten the belt

[@frankprio4490]

I may have to do this.could you use a "Step Bit" on that hole in the frame t make it big enough to get a socket in? I cant imagine it would weaken the frame.

[@CoopersAutomotiveRepair]

You could do that

What shop light do you use? I have been looking online for a decent light that has a magnet on it.

[@CoopersAutomotiveRepair]

I’ll check tomorrow when I get back to the shop I bought it from Napa and it’s really Verstl I like them I bought two

[@CoopersAutomotiveRepair]

The LED work line at napa is called light. And Carry

[@CoopersAutomotiveRepair]

Just bought myself another one of those LED lighting Kari magnetic lights they’re 65 bucks

Very nice

[@CoopersAutomotiveRepair]

Thank you for that

[@kws74]

so my wife owns one of these and hers at low speeds makes a strange sound toward the passenger side. wonder if it was this? i power braked it an slowly applied throttle and when the sound started my friend notices the belt vibrating. with that said i cant tell if a pully is bad or if i just need to replace the belt

[@CoopersAutomotiveRepair]

Sorry for being so slow just saw your comment. Did you find the problem?

[@kws74]

@@CoopersAutomotiveRepair yes it was the tensioner

[@arsalan3889]

whats the labor cost for a job like this?

[@CoopersAutomotiveRepair]

I appreciate the question but unfortunately I don’t recall the labor charge on this job

[@laoj3123]

Looks like another bad Nissan engineers design

[@CoopersAutomotiveRepair]

Definitely not one of my favorite manufacturers
