Fan Belt ?

Cpt Marvel · Nov 13th, 2005, 02:32 PM

Hello folks; Simple question here. I'm trying to remove the fan belts from my sentra. I got the back one off finally, but the front one is proving difficult. It has an idler wheel, which I don't know if it is also a tensioner. I can't get a wrench or socket on the right lower alternator bolt because of the idler, but I can't see how to loosen the idler. My first nissan. 98 Sentra, 1.6L, A/C, autotrans.
Thanks

Lets call them "drive belts" then. Fan belts is pretty much a generic term which I thought easily understood.

I searched the GA16 forum for belt removal and came up with this.
