i was driving home from work today and i smelled a funny smell. I eneded up comming home and saw that i shredded my belt those goes around my alternator and UDP and all of that....my question is what are some general prices of getting the belt replaced. thank you.

 

depends isnt the udp belt like 10 dollars? i think gates makes the best

 

it sucks i am in the UDP group deal and i have to get this fixed then once i get that it is going ot be a new belt on there.

 

About $10-$25 for a serpentine belt

 

yeah just go to auto zone or something they are cheeeeeap. for a maxima i wouldnt say more than $30. for my friends ae-86, $13 haha. love old cars.

 

I belive there lik $20 a piece that was the price I got a while back when needing to change my belts.

 

is there any site that shows you how to replace it? i saw one on how to adjust it on the how-to's but no replacement.

 

just follow the adjustment instructions and just loosen it all the way back. Then you can slip the old on off new one on. (just make sure to loosen that pully bolt.... )

 

loosen the tensioner pulley and its easy from there. There is a bar attached to the same bolt as the tenioner pulley that runs up and away from the pulley. At the end, you'd use a 14mm socket and turn it counter-clockwise to loosen the tensioner pulley (move it up)

 

well here it is...i went out and bought the belt...i got home and started jacking the car up and taking the tire off. Well i got the cover off so i could see the belts and then went to losen the pully. Got that done and went to loosen the tension and found that the tensoner was broken in half. So that kills that. I took my car to the shop and they found out why the belt ripped. The ac compressor locked up and now i have to replace that......this sucks cause it was so unexpected.
