Nissan Repair: Nissan serena fanbelts, center bolt, pivot bolt


Question
My 2litre Nissan Serena import has taken to squealing when started from cold. How do I know if it is the air con belt or the alternator belt and where can I get one. Finally how difficult is it to replace?

Answer
Jeff,

Replace the belts and be done with it.  Not too difficult.  Just loosen the center bolt on the adjustment pulley and then loosen the long bolt to get slack.  The power steering is a pain since you have to loosen the pivot bolt and the locking bolt on the pump.  But, the other one is easy.  Do not know if you can get parts from courtesyparts.com or not over in the UK.  But, over here they are the most cost effective.  Your choice...
