Deflection specs on belts?
Well, I had my compressor & PS belts replaced. Now, they squeal on start-up, which I understand from reading other posts means the belts are probably too loose. Does anyone know the deflection specs for the belts?
Also, my mechanic said I needed a new tensioner pulley bolt (he probably damaged it). When you buy a replacement bolt does it comes with all the needed hardware (spacers, washers, nut)? I read in a post that you can buy kits to replace the belts- other than the belts and bolt(s), is there anything that I am missing? I want to make sure I have good hardware to minimize the noise. Thanks! :) '98 Maxima SE fully loaded |
I dunno about the parts but for deflection,
at the bottom on the main belt, set it to 90 degree deflection... |
Thanks for the info . . . I have learned that there is a kit assembly that one can buy from a Nissan dealer for $40 or you can buy parts individually, like a tensioner pulley bolt for $11.

Belt Deflection is as follows:
Limit After Adjustment New Alternator with A/C 7 4.2-4.6 3.8-4.1 Alternator w/o A/C 10 6.3-6.9 5.8-6.2 Power Steering 11 7.3-8.0 6.5-7.0 Applied pushing Force 10 Kg or 22 lbs This is measured from the bottom of the car pushing upward on belt, pushing midway between pulleys. |
That didn't format properly
There are three measurements Limit, Deflectection after adjustment, Deflection of new belt. The numbers below represent these three headings. The first number is a whole number ie 7,10, 11 the others are ranges. |
Forgot one thing the reading are in milimeters.
My only regret in life is that I can't remember everything I know. |
