Busted A/C Tensioner Pulley
I decided to replace a snapped A/C belt today. But, when I put the new belt on and started the car, all I heard was a loud screech and smoke coming from under the hood. After checking it out, I saw that the pulley between the crank and A/C compressor wasn't spinning. When I finally took it off, and inspected it, this is what I found. Fun... no???
Check out the missing and/or busted bearings.

I prefer metal... or rivit...
I don't know about the pulley though, the best I can figure is that one of the washers somehow jammed in between the bearings and caused it to seize.
ok nto goth.. sorry
btw so you cant run your max??

Oh, it runs... just no A/C. Which really isn't a problem since that's what I was aiming to fix in the first place. Just sucks now that I need to go buy another part when I'm strapped for cash at the moment.

Bump. My A/C did the exact thing last year... oct.
I had the a/c working fine and charged and 2-3 days later when i turned on my max there was a loud screeching noise from the hood and turn the a/c button off it went away tuned it on and the rpm 's dropped and the noise came back on and then followed by smoke. Now i have no a/c in the car and the dog days of nyc summer is in full effect. So the question is that do i need a new a/c compressor?? Sounds like the disk siezed up or something but similar to your situation. Darn I love my 14 yr old maxima.
