Your video was the first one I found that shows the challenges of putting the new tensioner back in place. This is my first time doing this. Helped calm me down.
He fails to mention that a lift makes this ten times easier
I was just thinking the exact same thing. The way you have to contort your body on the ground is way different.
Upper bolt need special length. I used 3/8"drive adapter to 1/4" socket was good length.
Mine not very tight.
“You do you boo boo” Your great attitude makes these videos great 😂
As usual, great job. Some comments mentioned it's easier with a lift..... Duh. But backyard mechanics know how to deal with that. Love these videos. 😊
For those of you without a Vehicle lift try this. Put a jack under the oil pan and loosen the 4 bolts on the top motor mount. Slowly lower the jack. This will lower the engine and give you an extra 1 - 2 inches of space to access the top tensioner mounting bolt. Don't remove the bolts. Leave them threaded in 1/4 - 1/2 inch. The bolts are pretty long and can give you the extra room you need to complete the job quicker and easier.
Brother, God bless you, you are a excellent Mechanic. Thanks so much.

3rd hole upper right.. Roll tensioner to let off tension on belt and put a pin,allen wrench whatever thru upper right hole and in engine block and it'll hold the tensioner to take belt off.
I would really appreciate if you could tell me the bolt size the bolts broke off in the street so I don't know what size to buy thank you 🤙🏼
Great video. I have the same model year 2010 and will be doing the same job. Please also post another video on how to remove the water pump. Only videos out there on RUclips showing how to do it are for older models, nothing for the 2009 - 2012 generation Altimas. Thanks

Perfect video Len! One thing worth mentioning is also to be careful not to spin the crankcase pulley on accident while doing this job because it will mess up the timing since the belt is off
Other than that everything was on point! 👍
I would address the fact that the car is running in salted roads or is showing heavy surface rust on metal parts. These bolts should never be put in dry. I would always use no-lock on the bolts when putting older ones back in or with new hardware. Your videos are of great quality but the mystery of taking things apart and the frustration of stuck bolts can be mitigated with no-lock. Another point is to use thread locker. It may be slightly more difficult to back them out but they will not rust or corrode.
+rerun3d Thanks for the tip!
what is no-lock?
Thanks again Man, this video is very helpful. God bless you my friend.

Changing the tensioner was much harder than I was led to believe. It took me forever to get the bolts out and back into the new one, working through that little hole in the wheel well, and one of the bolts broke so now I'm going to have to take it to the shop anyway. I might as well have brought it to the shop in the first place because it's not a very expensive job and it's a major PITA to do it yourself.
Mine just did the same thing today smh. I'm praying it's the bottom bolt that broke off I'm having it towed right now.
How did yall break the bolt? Tightening it?
THANKS 1A- AUTO FOR REFFERENCE AND PART HELP
THIS FIX DESCRIPTION HELPED A FAMILY MEMBER
THANKS✅💯
You Rock Bruh. Thanks.
Awesome e video man! This helped me tremendously
+Lionel'sVoice Thank you for your feedback! We are happy we could help.
Excellent video! You instructions are easy to understand and follow. Thank you. Do you ever work on Altima SE R?
Excellent how to vid. Covered all the key info and clear concise shots.
Awesome instruction. Thank you!
Shux, I wonder if it is easier attacking it from the top or would the top engine mount be in the way?
What ratchet type, extension and socket you guys used? I had a 3/8 craftsman wrench with a stubby and a small 13mm and I was able to lose the top nut but then I got stuck. I couldn't find any other combination to get it off. Any suggestions on a wrench or ratchet? I see that you used the ratchet with an angle, is that the only one you used?
Very cool an clear thank you I'm ready to put it in practice .
Can you make a video on how to replace a harmonic balancer on this specific car. Thanks len.
Thank you so much for the video.... Very informative and tastefully entertaining 🥰 "Do u boo boo"😆... It did the trick!!
+Nicol Cohen Thank you! We love empowering our customers and showing how to perform DIY auto repairs with our high-quality auto parts. 1AAuto.com
i only had a stubby 14 mm wrench, making the tension an effing nightmare!
Take another wrench and insert it sideways on the wrench for leverage.
Whats the torque wrench to install the new tensioner? I'm doing my 2011 nissan altima 2.5s right now.
2007 Nissan Altima. The bracket bolt on tenson pulley broke off in block. Is this hard to get out?
great video thanks bro!
I need to replace the 13mm bolts do you know were can i get them
@1AAuto The top mounting bolt for the tensioner pulley broke off.how do I go about getting that out
Ur the man
I may have to modify my mud shield by drilling a hole to get good access to that top bolt 😊..
Nice job,thank my men
If this tensioner fits for the 2006 it should fit the 2002-2006? Correct me if I’m wrong.
I call B.S. on that top bolt!! Beware it's super hard to get a socket on there. The pulley for the water pump is in the way of getting a socket on there as well as a deep socket even with a ratchet that pivots. Also not enough clearance for a deep socket...it's a mofo! I had to use an extension with a swivel and barely got it loose and retightened!!! Had to use a wrench and get a small turn at a time till I could use my finger...it almost couldn't be done.
Im trying to change the tensioner but the first bolt borken and i have no dea how to get it off, beside not enought room to drill it out. Any idea to help please? And ifcthere is a video will help .
I’m going through that struggle right now. Except mine sheared off both bolts smh
@@jaminshinkowski4477 how did you get them out
How did you get it out
how was it fixed?
My rogue makes a squeaking noise when it's cold then it goes away after it warms when driving. Is the tensioner pully the problem.?
Is this for a 3.5L V6? Not sure if I missed it in the video.
excuse me #1AAuto Auto what's the name of this plastic cover that you removed in minute 1:43 where can I buy it I need it
Is that the front motor cover that the tensioner bolts on to because my bolt holes are broken
Can you manage to reach the tensor from the top? I'm feeling adventurous after a snowstorm that just hit lol
Laying on the ground is not exactly an option.
Also, A1 auto be mad extra when replacing parts. They replace everything on the way to the damage part lol
What if bolts had broken off inside when tension pulley fell off?
Please answer this question
What are the symptoms to let you know it’s bad?
If taken to a shop, how much is this job, rough estimate with parts. I was told my one it would take 7 hours and he charges $60 a hour after the first $80 a hour. But he was mobile and he didn't want to do it that day smh. So how pong did it exactly take you, putting belt and everything on?
Thanks for this! NE car, right? 😀
Sr can I change my tensioner without take of serpentine belt all off . ??
I have to replace this part on my wife’s 2011 2.5 Altima this weekend and I am really not looking forward to it. I’m an HVAC tech not a mechanic, dammit lol. Anyways, I replaced the water pump on this car about 3 and a half years ago so I already have an idea of what I’m up against.
Are all bolts the same size
Will this work for 2014 Altima?
What is the thread pitch for the 2 mounting bolts?
This the same steps for 2006 maxima ?
Perfect...thanks...
Would this way work for Nissan versa
+Dacoye Owens We don't have a how-to video for your vehicle right now, but the basic steps in this video should be enough to do this task. Buy this part for your vehicle on 1AAuto.com: 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Anyone have the torque specs ? For the tensioner?
What are the torque settings for those bolts?
This is the 2.5 right
Yes
Now imagine trying to do that 2 hand move to place the second bolt while you're laying on the ground. Without a lift, you're better off paying someone.
What was the bolt size?
What size bolt is it for the new part?
Bolts holes that hold I n tensioner and pully broke off how to fix or is there way to bypass tnsioner pully
how did u fix it?
How about show a video on a 3.5l v6 engine

Thank you, sir
+BBHEEE Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
This works for Nissan 2.5l 02 to 06 as well?
The process is for 2006-2012 Altimas, but you should be able to use some of the steps for a 2002-2005 as well. Thanks for watching. +Robert Henderson
Which wheel should we take off.
+Evelina Wheeler The front passenger side wheel is removed to access the tensioner and belt. Thanks for checking us out. 1aauto.com
Is this similar to a Maxima too?

Nice place for the oil filter Nissan. 🤨
This work on a 2006 Nissan Altima 3.5?
The part is not listed to fit your vehicle due to the engine size, however, you should be able to use some of the steps in the video for your repair.
The part for your vehicle, NSEBT00001 is currently out of stock. +Carlos Espinoza
1A Auto Parts thanks man I really appreciate you replying and for the info
Misleading title this doesn't apply to the coupes cause I'm having trouble with the top bolt it's located right behind the ps pump pulley which is a nightmare I've tried many times nothing seems to fit only other option I see is to remove the ps pulley but only issue is there's no bolt on it instead has a threaded opening not sure what tool I should use other problem is the limited space amount lll figure it out tho
15:51
Why you Just removed the pulley, change the bearing and thats the fix
Sometimes the spring goes out
The manual specifically states to replace the entire assembly, you will not be able to get the right torque on the pulley bolt because it moves around and not enough space to do so.
@@YeetxBoi Why cant the tensioner assy be removed and then replace the bearing only? I ordered the bearing and thats the plan. I read others have done it...
NOTE: This does NOT apply to a 2006 Altima, at least not the 3.5 V6 model, as they have a manual, worm-gear tensioner not a spring-loaded one.
Actually, after watching other videos, it seems sometimes the adjuster is automatic and sometimes it's manual, on various years and both I4 and the V6..
This is the most crap design for a car I’ve ever seen. It’s almost impossible to get to the tensioner when you’re doing it on the ground. Had to take a sawzall and cut some of the inner fender out. I have dealt with the tensioner on my car all year. It broke the bolts off and came off the first time. Put it back on then it done the same thing again. Put a new tensioner on it this time and now the bolts have backed out of the tensioner and threw the belt again. No idea why it’s doing this
Not that easy on a freaking 2016
Great video except for the cringey "you do you booboo" comment
Yo I loved it when he said "you do you boo boo" 🤣💯👌🏾 absolutely love his character! Make light of things, you shouldn't have to be so serious all the time. His Personality showed in this video 💪🏾💯 let him make more videos please! 🤣 I'm not even done watching this video. I stopped after I heard this comment 🤣😭I wanted to see if ANYONE else laughed at this because that was great bro! 🤣🤣🤣💯 Alright now I'm going to finish the video haha
