So I am a chick and thanks to you I just changes my first belt!!!! Women's hands are smaller so I didn't have a lot of trouble!!! Thank you soooo very very much!!!! Brakes next!!!!
I can attest to the part about hand size--I'm a guy. I have trouble taking my oil cap off without removing the engine cover because my hand can't fit in the hole to loosen the cap off.
Thank you, I am going to change the belt this weekend..
Apologies for less than perfect filming are not necessary. You took time out of your repair to help others. For that I say thank you. Not complex, but it's always nice to have an idea of what to look for before diy repair. Kudos.
I watched the others on changing the serpentine belt, yours is the most thorough. Thank you.
Bro thank you for your video because it help me A LOT. I change my drive belt on my 11 Altima today. It took me 3 hrs because I never change the belt before, however I save 300 dollars. Its well worthy if you ask me. I know my car inside out which is the reason i didnt mind changing the belt. I replace my bumper as well a year ago. Its all about saving money . I only paid 24.99 (Amazon) Thanks again
trueGrizzlesFAN22 awesome bro, glad I could be of assistance! Every little bit helps right! And knowing your car is super important.
😮 thank you for this amazing video❗️
Thank you so much!! Went in for a recall to the Nissan dealership and they told me my drive belt was "severely damaged" and quoted $270 (!!!) to change it. With your video, it took me $25 and an hour to change it. Thank you again!
Thats awesome man, you saved a TON of money!
Cool!! love to do the work the "Stealer" way overcharges for! .
yeah no kidding.. and in my experience some of the "certified" technicians at my local dealer are pretty incompetent
dealerships = stealerships most times.
Best vid I seen so far for the serpentine belt repair
I appreciate that, hope it was helpful.
I just replaced my exhaust manifold and exhaust pipe because of this video. lol. You have to remove the belt and alternator for manifold bolts. I was not confident at all about the belt. So thanks alot. Saved about $900
Just wanted to say thanks for posting this video. Just changed my belt on my 2008 Nissan Altima and it was easy thanks to your vid. Also, thank for the vid on camshaft cleaning. Worked like a charm. Cheers!
Justamente lo que ando buscando, gracias por sus enseñanzas maestro.
Thanks good video what is important is to make sure when when you pull the tensioner back with the 14mm open end that you back far enough and clear the pulley with the wrench so you get enough play in the belt to get it back on coming off is easy but if you don't pull the tensioner back far enough you will think you have the wrong belt. Thanks again for a good video!!
Thx brutha, you made it super easy, worked like a charm...
Anthony Williams awesome man! Glad it helped
Nice drawing thank you
Father of three big eaters here. This is my first time replacing a car's belt and this video was awesome. Saved me a lot of money. Blessings brother.
thanks for watching my friend, glad I could help
WOW!!!! Stealership charge me $210 to replace the belt. After seeing your video I couldn't believe how easy it was.
That's robbery if the car is similar. If two people are doing this, even accounting for the belt being OEM and costing $50+, that's a 15-minute job.
Thank you! There are holes in the tensioner bracket and block that let you put an Allen wrench (1/4" I think) that you can lock the tensioner "out" so belt routing/install are easier. you can see the holes if you look. It made it so much easier!. There are a couple of good videos for this and I thank you guys for posting these.. I just changed the Crankshaft position sensor, very common on these cars, (a total pain in the ass!) because the car was stalling and hard starting a lot. while doing that job I noticed the belt was shot (124,000 mi on original!!) so this is the next project. Thanks again.
Super clear && an awesome video good sir
Thank you for taking the time to post this! Not too bad of a replacement! Appreciate your efforts!
Thank you sir! Got my belt successfully changed
Great video... I have an 06 altima .. Needs a belt also.. After watching your video I have a little more confidence in doing it myself.. Thanks
Let me know if you ended up tackling it
I also have an 06 altima. I think I can do this!
+nivekoch thanks i was thinking wtf.how the fuck does it go on...
Nevermind my question below...I. misunderstood. Goterdone, thank you so much for this vid!!!!
Thanks so much for this video... I was able to do it with the same kind of wrench you used, but fitting the new belt over the pulley at the end was pretty tough and my friends helped me out. Will definitely use the tensioner wrench next time
Thaw Htaik nice! glad you guys got it done.
Thanks from Canada, for the video. Looks like our 2004 Altima with 65K miles is in need of a belt change, so I ordered on on Ebay (Gates) and will attempt this now that I've seen this video! I'll assume most 2.5L Nissan engines are very similar, (with air) so I'll be giving this a try tonight. Thanks again, much appreciated!
Awesome video! Saves money when you take care of your vehicle on your own. #Patience #Effort
Great video - I was just at my auto shop for oil change because it's winter -12 so I have them do it - anyway, they wanted $125 to replace. I will wait till at least above zero though.
perfect I have 2008 maxima needs high pressure hose for power steering and a new belt gave me a good look at what I need to do thanks
This video came in handy for changing the belt on my 2010. My only issue is the wrench I used. I know there are serpentine belt kits that have a breaker bar with attachment jaws on them that you can use. I tried with one of these and didn't have enough clearance from the ground doing this with the standard jack the car comes with. I tried using a regular 14mm wrench and ran into issues of the wrench slipping off the tensioner bolt for lack of not having enough grip and torque. I ended up using a 14 mm offset wrench that was a little bit longer than my standard 14mm wrench to get a nice hold on the bolt on the tensioner due to the offset bend. If I had to do this again though, I might do it with a Klutch Extra-Long Spline Drive Flex Ratcheting Wrench - 12mm x 14mm to get that nice extra hug on the bolt.
Thanks for video...While trying to find a rattle in my 08 which I never found the source of I noticed my belt is shot 140k mi....belt replacement isn't my favorite chore but this video will help
Great help just changed mine
I always put the old one in the trunk, you never know when you might need one. Just in case!
Exelent , thak's to you I save some money on repair, very very helpful
I need to do this on my Altima. I think I can do it myself after watching your video. Thanks.
Bbendfender good luck my friend, if you're mechanically inclined whatsoever you'll find it's not hard at all.
Did you end up doing it? If so let me know how it went
nivekoch I chickened out and took it to my mechanic. $115 for belts and install. Not too bad. I used to do most all of my car work, like this, but these newer cars not so much. Thanks.
Dont feel bad about not replacing it at 70k miles. I havent replaced mine yet and my Altima has 137k. She still runs like a dream!
Thank you very much for this video ...
Well done, with special carefully, I'm thank you..
How do you know when It's time to change the belt? I have the same an 08 altima and when I start it put it on drive or reverse I here this squeek when I tap the pedal... does that mean I gotta change it?
thank you it was very helpful to me
Thanx.
Hey buddy your video is great , but for some reason I can not get the belt around the ac pully. It's like my the pulley is right on the frame giving me no clearance
hello and nice video. question how far along the road will you change thebwater pump and the tensioner.
good job thanks
Ditto on the other comments! Really appreciate your help. Question, You didn't mention anything about tightening the tensioner at the end. Are there any specifications as to how tight the bolt should be?
Yeah thankfully the tensioner doesn't have to be tightened, it springs back into place. I do believe the older models had to be tightened though.
I have the 2008 Sentra, I wonder how similar the belt routing is, is that your oil filter mounted on the side?
Thanks alot
Thank you sir
8:28 I spent 95% of my time trying to pry back the tensioner and at the same time trying to put the pulley over it.
Mines needs changing as well. I'm finding OEM Nissan belts for like $25, on ebay
I noticed you didn't mention the power steering pump. Is there a separate belt for the power steering pump.
That’s a good question, I do not recall at this point
I got a 2012 nissan altima with 215k on it this help me replace the bet thanks
braddeem awesome! thanks for watching
It’s 2023 how’s the long did the belt last for ? This goes for anyone else too
If you bought the belt from Amazon
The tensioner on my wife's car is not that pulley.
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO MAN, I WAS ABOUT TO GIVE UP ! WHAT A PAIN IN THE *** !
The serpentine belt wrench can actually be rented at most auto parts places for about 30 bucks, so no need to purchase it!
SCarolinaX That is correct my friend, I mention that in the actual video as well. Thanks for watching
Haha, sorry. I had to watch on mute. Thanks for the upload. It really does help!
no way of reaching from top?
Panagiotis F. no i did mine like this
thanks for this video nivekoch, saved me some money, firestone wanted 150.00 to 200.00 bucks to replace got the gates micro-v AT serpertine belt for 36.00 + tax, O'reilly auto parts, part# K060878,,, thanks again
Thanks for the comment, Good to hear you I helped you save some $$ . Surprisingly Valvoline instant oil change only wanted to charge me $90, but for a job this straight forward I'm glad I did it on my own. $35 is cheaper than $90!
