It jus cast alum that's why it looks like that. I also heard to get the tensioner with the band in it and not the stupid factory spring model. BTW love that wrench combo. 😁
It is a GearWrench set, should be in my Amazon store on the main page or below each video in the description, should be a link? If not let me know in a new comment.
Did you raise the engine up by just jacking up the oil pan with that piece of wood on your floor jack? Or is there a better place on the engine to use that won’t damage the pan or otherwise cause it to leak? Thanks!
Yes I did, it's important to be careful and spread the load as well as not forcing anything beyond the free movement available. The only time a pan would leak or be damaged is if it's forced or the jack is used in a bad area to lift from or without proper load spread.
Julian, most of the tools I used for this repair are Capri, Sunex and Mountain. I have them in my Amazon store. I don’t remember any specialty tools, but 3/8 drive ratchet, 12 to 17mm sockets and a 3” extension should get it done. Also a 14mm long ratchet wrench helps but isn’t required. There should be a link in the description.
Took off the serpentine belt for replacement on my 2010 versa. I noticed that the tensioner pulley is making contact with the waterpump pulley, and the belt is not going back on at all. Any suggestions with this? Do i need to replace the tensioner since its making contact with the other pulley? Thank you!
Had someone repair my belt and pulley and the belt just snapped off again. Do you think it’s the tensioner pulley you fixed here that’s causing the problem?
It is very possible, each pulley has a bearing in it that can go bad. After a belt breaks it’s important to check each one for debris and bearing condition.
what year is this? i have a 2014 and am having one hell of a time trying to figure out how to do this. we where just trying to replace the belt....but cut it off and all hell broke loose haha
I think this one was a 2009. Might be similar, but there is not much room to get at the tensioner and lock down nut if it has the mechanically adjusted tensioner. If it's spring loaded a screwdriver or pryer will show what direction the pulley needs to be moved. Just be careful about sensors on the area.
@@JimmyMakingitwork This video is the best reference for doing this job in RU-vid. There's one more but the guy reams out that hole in the frame, super sketchy. I get to do this job on a friends Versa on the side of the road in a Midwest winter tomorrow night, and thanks to you I'm confident that I have all the tools necessary to get it done fast so I won't freeze my ass off.
