Word!

[@saiganarchary8892]

I am extremely grateful for this video. I was trying to change the belt on my 2016 isuzu kb300lx and couldn't understand why the pulley wasn't getting loose after I released the bolt. It never cross my mind to release the nut on the pulley. Thanks a million!

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Glad it helped

Took me hours to find this video the perfect video

[@eunosensem]

Got a 98 frontier, just the video I was looking for thanks man🙏🏽

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

No problem 👍

[@zuberilol]

This was a great vid, short and concise description. 👍

[@kyleinthought]

Fantastic help well done, thank you.

[@michaelmay5120]

Anybody know the torque spec for that hold down nut on the pulley? Thanks!

[@iza1021]

Hey I was wondering if I still had to loosen the hold-down nut if I only want to tighten the tensioner?

[@suditaliano]

My 2007 nissan qashqai seems to habe this system. Thanks a lot.

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Happy to help

[@LastFirst-iu5tl]

Thanks for this video. I did all that and the belt was fine after install. This morning it is squealing and the belt heats up. Any suggestions? It's a 1992 Nissan hardbody

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

The belt heats up? Is a pulley locking up?

[@brandonwilson2783]

Would that fix a crankshaft pulley wobble on a 98 frontier?

[@flyinbryan0782]

What do you call that pulley and or what's a part number I can't find it anywhere on the parts website went to O'Reillys waited for it to come in and bam wrong size. But they claim that is they only one they have for my truck

[@MINIDISK111111]

Well mine was really loose, but where on earth do you find a repair manual for belt deflection, have a 1997 nissan datsan (near Identical to the above)

[@fastjoecorrigan7426]

Sir how you take the pulley off it's seized up on me? The Polly you just loosened

[@ultiminiohernandez2368]

Thanks for the info

[@calbrian5869]

Thanks for sharing 👍

[@r3dhorse]

Thanks bro helped a lot.

[@DanBires]

What about the lower belts. That’s where the sqeal is coming from

[@alecmason7378]

For anyone seeing this, the lower belt has a second tensioner built into the alternator.

[@eastcoastbrushworks6327]

What Year/Make/Model Nissan were you working on??

[@todd77777772000]

where can i get a bet tensioner bolt for a 91 pathfinder ?

[@briannalambeth5769]

Thank you

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

You're welcome

[@stephonscott-cooper734]

I must need a torque wrench I broke 3. Belts trying to do this myself

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

That and a deflection gage as mentioned in the video.

[@Tlakusani]

Hey i need help with my ka24 fan belt or altanetor belt always beaking

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Ok. Tell me more.

[@bruteforcenfe]

YOU....ARE....A GENIUS...THANK YOU 5000

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

I assure you that I am not. But thanks for the complement.

[@magdielvz427]

WhTs the torque for the pulley

[@marktorres214]

If all accessory pulley bearings are bad, can that worn out a new tensioner?

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Not sure I understand the question.

[@thesetruths1404]

Nice. Liked that. I'm looking for help with this problem. Writeup below I've used on Nissan forums. I'm thinking my issue may be a failed hydraulic timing belt tensioner. Any ideas or experience you have is greatly appreciated! Hello all! This is my first Nissan Pathfinder. I have always wanted one since the late 1990s. It's a 1998 SE 3.3L, automatic transmission, 167,000 miles on it. I got it at an estate sale for $2,000. It has a loud knock or tap that happens part-time and so far it's not been resolved. I'd really appreciate it if anyone could point me to anything to check next, or describe if you had similar problems with yours. I've run the motor minimally...only to troubleshoot. Here's what it does and what I've done: 1. When it's first started, it knocks for less than 1 second and then gets entirely quiet. I hear maybe 2 knocks when it first starts. Then, when the motor is accelerated to 2000 RPMs it begins to knock and it keeps knocking until 3000ish RPMs. It increases in speed as the RPMs increase. If I let off the accelerator it stops knocking. When it's higher than 3,000 RPM it goes away. So it's in this midrange RPM the knock is present. It does this sitting still, or driving it. The rig was very sheltered it's whole life from what I can tell. It was driven lightly by an elderly lady. It's in immaculate condition, inside and out. Garaged. Paint and interior is perfect. Motor starts, idles and runs great other than the knock. Oil is full. I dropped the oil pan and checked the main and rod bearings. There was not any play. I changed them anyways. Noise persisted. There was some material in the pan's bottom, about 1/3 tablespoon (1 teaspoon) of what seemed to be fine wear material. Which I would think is normal for 167,000 miles. 2. It has a P1400 error code, for the EGR solenoid. I have not chased that yet. I don't find where this would cause a knock though. 3. The transmission fluid is 1 to 2 quarts low (based on my guess from stick reading), but the noise does not seem to be coming from the transmission, and the vehicle moves and drives fine. No slippage. What could be causing this part-time knock? Hydraulic lifters? Timing belt slap? Harmonic balancer? Cracked flexplate? The noise seems too loud to be the lifters, and doesn't do it at low RPMs like lifters usually do. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[@officialsouthsoul5223]

To replace the pulley, i assume you unbolt both screws and pop it out? I been trying to replace my pulley on my Nissan hardbody but it seems to be stuck unless I’m missing something?

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Is it the same set up as the Nissan in the video?

[@officialsouthsoul5223]

@@BarboursAutoHelp yes, The engine is a KA24E but the pulley is in the same spot like in this video. It seized up on me but i got it to spin again when i loosen the bolts and adjust it. but the bearing now makes a whining noise and i just want to replace it but when i take the two bolts out like this video, it seems stuck unless i'm missing something or maybe i'm not applying enough pressure? I heard the bolts are soft metal so i been careful how i pull it.

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Try using a little penetrating oil.

[@jeremymorgan5009]

Could the loose belt make it not charge properly

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

The alternator belt being loose could

[@twoonefo2917]

Is there some kind of washer behind the pulley ?

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Yes

[@twoonefo2917]

@@BarboursAutoHelp do you know what kind? I’m afraid that I must’ve lost mine

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

You'll need to talk to a parts pro.

[@pjlynes]

WHATS THE NAME OF THIS BELT ?

[@MrFiveStarzz]

Nice

[@feliciayazzie9541]

What if the mount bracket broke…😅

[@adrianroper1353]

I have a loose belt in my d22 navara i just want to tighten it can i do this

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Never done one of those. I'm not sure.

[@NotSoCrazyNinja]

The lock nut on mine is ironically seized. Of course, the material the nut is made of is soft as butter and is now rounded. I'm about to toss the whole truck in the scrap heap because to replace the vac lines, I have to remove the power steering pump and to remove that I have to take the belt off and this one nut is singlehandedly keeping me from getting my truck on the road.

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Darn!

[@i.win.1996]

Btw my tensioner is not like that at all. Do you know what the part is called or what the part # is, or WHERE i could get the pulley that attaches to the fan clutch unit? The pull, i think connects to the water pump. I can not find a name or anything for this pulley. The pulley has a male end that fits into a female end is the best way i can explain it. Its loose on my 2006 nissan pathfinder and the tensioner wont tighten the belt enough to keep it on track. Throws my whole belt off. Any suggestions, ideas, websites. Or do you know how i could tighten this belt more? Thanks.

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Maybe it would be best to go to the parts store and have them pull up a diagram for you so you can point it out. Autozone has an online manual you could use to find the part too.

[@spiritualapprentice4059]

What about power steering belt

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

That's on another episode that I never made. Lol. Sorry bout that.

That's it in a "nut" shell. You know, like the hardware
