You're welcome!

You are very welcome ! Thanks for watching!

Thank you. Thanks for watching! : )

Your welcome! Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching. Glad this helped. That Pulley you would need to get from the dealer. It's a dealer item. Thanks again!

Yes, if you can jack up the car and remove the passenger front tire, then you can do this job with no problem!

Ok Thanks

Thanks for watching my Video. The best place to of course get these parts would be the dealer. It comes as a assembly like the one in the video. I forget the price exactly. I think it's like 60 bucks. But yeah.. The adjuster bolts seize over time which is the main reason they fail.

FixyourNissan, Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I appreciate the info. Monday I'm off the dealer. So it's "clockwise to loosen the adjustment bolt" right? ........Maybe I can return the favor here....a few years back I had an issue with the trans not upshifting. I had the car towed to my mechanic...( I'm a half assed motor head also)....He had to call Nissan about the problem. It was an intermittent issue. Anyhow we trouble shot it and found the problem to be a trans sensor and an engine senor. transmitting false readings to the car's computer. Apparently we were advised that it was not an uncommon issue and to our surprise he had the replacement parts in stock........ Sometimes mechanic specialists don't know this....and they try to push off a replacement trans. Once the sensors were replaced...the computer reset? No more problems.....I'm a very happy camper with my Nissan max. Former Chevy and ford guy here.....But I like Nissan products...once one gets familiar with how to replace the parts on a Nissan it's a breeze. Thanks again my friend!

If you installed a Aftermarket belt, they are known to stretch pretty bad and can keep coming loose. But you also want to make sure when you have the belts off, that all the pulleys spin freely and do not make any roaring type noises. That would indicate a pulley bearing is going which could cause seizing up which can also make the belt slip and make noise.

@@FixyourNissan thanks

@@turbo35rrr You are very welcome

@@turbo35rrr You are welcome

Depending on what Year G35 you have, if it has 2 Belts, you have two Idler pulley Tensioners. But I would not think you would need both. That sounds like they just want to replace everything on you

FixyourNissan can you tell me what it is the main problem then, cus idid the water spray test & the chirping noise went away for a bit!, thanks

@@VictorRodriguez-nq9xc Could simply be a loose belt. Worn belt. I would remove the belts and check the pulleys before you replace them. You just don't replace pulleys

FixyourNissan alright, thanks a lot man.. will do that.. appreciate your time!

419-624 dorman idler pulley

That adjuster Pulley has 3 Mounting bolts

Ok thanks

The bolt either became un-threaded causing that, or the bolt broke when you loosened it. The video shows how the adjusted is constructed, so when you take yours off to inspect it, you can find your issue.

Never needed to ever loosen it to change the belts. I will crack the 12 mm bolt loose, and turn the adjuster. If the belt stays tight, I just pull down on it and it will move the pump down to allow the belt to be changed. Then use the adjuster to tighten it back up and lock it down once adjusted by tightening the 12 mm bolt

I would highly recommend taking the extra 5 minuted to loosen the 14mm or just tighten it when done if the guy before left it loose

@@johnaranjo2059 What ever works best for you

If the tensioner lock bolt is striped, you may need to break the pulley and replace it as a assembly

105 to 112 Ft lbs

To replace the tensioner with the drive belts, I am going to say it's ruffly around 270 to replace both with drive belts if you have it done.

FixyourNissan Thanks. Getting an estimate tomorrow. Hopefully they don't fck me over. I am in Los Angeles so geographically everything is twice as much. Have a great day. Thanks again.

This applies to Nissan Maxima's, Murano's, Altima's ( V6), Quests, I35's back in early to late 2000's

nileor1 Sorry, did the best videoing this myself while changing the belts and tensioner.

FixyourNissan no problem i figured it out, there was a washer left out on mine, thnx for vid though

+John Griffith Sorry, I did the best I could by myself with what I had at the time. It's also a very tight area and hard to lighten it up.
