Nissan Repair: Change Fan Belt, nissan sentra, tensioner pulley


Question
I have a 2003 Nissan Sentra how do you change the belts?

Answer
Ofey,

I would purchase a Haynes Manual or go on-line to nissantechinfo.com and get the factory service manual in PDF format.  The procudure is to loosed the tensioner pulley center bolt and then loosen the long bolt that tightens the pulley.  For the other belt you loosen the power steering belt and pivot bolt to remove the belt.  Installation is reverse of this.  You will need a half inch of deflection on each belt to get them tight, but not too tight.
