I searched and didn't find much info on this. How much of a pain in the ass is it to chane the belts on an '01 Altima. I was just looking around under the hood and it doesn't look like there is a heck of a lot of room to get the belt in there. Also, it looks like there are two belts. One that goes to the power steering pump and a serpentine for everything else. Is this correct? I didn't crawl underneath to get a better look so I might be wrong.
The serpentine belt runs around all the accessories except the ac compressor.
A separate belt drives the compressor.
You must have the tool to loosen the tensioner bolt, it's a long thin flat bar that you
can attach different size sockets on to it.
Thanks for the help guys. I'll have to look in to getting that tool. Once you have the tool, is it a PITA to snake the belt around all of the pulleys? Is it easier to get at it from underneath?
Just remember, most jobs only require a considerable amount of patient and the rest is luck . Serpentine belts are always a pain to route, even on a straight mounted engine. Good luck with it. Let me know how it goes.
