This is helpful. Thanks! Just replaced my alternator on my Altima. Removal is the hardest part, belt is not too bad, just annoying.

[@MrStroller4u]

The most important part is the belt tensioner. SmH

[@brucea550]

Decent video except not properly showing belt tensioner/removal/replacement of serpentine belt. It does not happen that easily! I also prefer getting the OEM alternator rebuilt at a local shop if possible, as a far better alternative to buying an unknown quality rebuilt.

[@makojuicedaniel9307]

how do you loosen the belt, is it a spring tentioner or bolt one? tttrying to help my sister while at work

[@e-kahuna]

Correction: You can take the alternator off yourself easily by removing top bolt and rotating down. the belt will come off without damage. But putting the belt back on is more difficult. That requires one person below with tensioner and belt already on top, or 2 better yet people: One below on tensioner and one above making sure the belt is on correctly. Either way, someone has to be on the tensioner below (14mm box wrench only, sockets won't fit its too thin). The longer the wrench the better, you will have to apply pressure from below and its tight. I purchased a very thin Craftsman tensioner tool (fits sockets) won't fit on tensioner. The frame to tensioner bolt access on pulley, its very narrow, will only fit an 14mm open end wrench or preferably a box wrench! Again you won't be able to get a socket on this plus a wrench into the socket!

Love the video what's the easiest way to remove the belt off the alternator

[@justnom9813]

Any tips of getting that alternator belt out fast, should I just loosen the tensioner ?

[@Izzy-yi4dg]

What kind of informative video is this? Like everyone else has said, how could you ignore the step of how to remove the serpentine belt?

[@WormfrmTX]

Best how to do video there is only suggestion I would add is showing how to release the tension from the tensioner but that’s super easy to locate and can also easily KZbin another video of where to locate the tensioner and how to release the tension other than that 10/10 video 👍🏽

[@n8iv386]

Awesome video! Didn't take as long as I thought it would.

[@scottburrow8717]

How come you don’t have a video for 3.5 alternator replacement?????

[@brenttlewis2696]

So do you need to use a jack stand for this change out?

[@joeingram9602]

How do you take the tension off belt

[@BethanyMorales-b8d]

Is this the same for the 3.5

[@nymack66]

That belt you did not cover is the toughest part of this job, too bad you skipped it completely, TRQ you Guys can do better. I am a customer BTW.

[@claytonrobert498]

He had problems with the belt that was probably embarrassing so he didn’t upload it. I’m going through the same thing right now.

[@scottburrow8717]

Thanks for this video. Help me out a lot.

[@darronmalonetowingchannel]

Bro thanks for helping 😊me!!

[@LizardKing1750]

Interesting how this was a 10 minute video and these mechanics you take your car tell you to leave it over night. Tsk tsk tsk 🙂‍↔️

[@dennismelville7532]

😒 the majority of the people complaining about a belt removal.... if you can't Google that the same way that you searched for this video... then you don't need to be working on your POS Nissan in the first place.

[@brenttlewis2696]

Yea no belt remover coverage made it look easy😂

[@jwhite4703]

Why does it look like my alternator is at about a 5 degree angle. I haven't taken off old one yet.

[@guebaradelivery769]

Great video

[@oceanavenue1470]

Why don't people post motor size on the title or anywhere

[@cjwestall_9]

Will this work for the 3.5 liter engine as well?

[@EPiCxPS3]

Is 1k usd for this repair accurate? I am curious how much you should of charged for this specific job. Perhaps they charged me an extra 500$ because of the rust.

[@1988wildonera]

I was going to ask no belt tensioner. But I see in the comments that people are already asking about this. SMH

[@MijuChy-d8s]

Tnx

[@originalog3806]

This video sucks how do you not explain the tensioner pulley.
