I hate to post how to quesitons, because I am sure it has been answered before, but I can't use the search feature, and in the HOW TO's there is nothing on belts. I have a 2000 Auto SE, and would like to do the belts, but it does not look that easy. Is there a trick or a best way to go about it?

Thanks!

John

 

Can anyone

 

Can anyone help?

 

i think you might get a better response if you ask about a specific belt.

search for "maxima service manual" on ebay and you'll see a bunch.

 

why u want a new belt?! jeez get sum bumpin subs!!

 

If you do it yourself it might take 20 minutes
You dont have to take the wheel off or need a jack. Drive that thing up on some piece of wood or something if you do not have jack. Just take of the plastic cover on the inside of wheel (not the wheel well cover) behind strut. 10mm socket or a phillips screw driver. Then with a 14mm wrench loosen the tensioner pulley bolt, go up top and with 14mm socket turn that long bolt right there to the left. Pull of belt and put new one on! Tighten tensioner pulley some(finger tight) turn long bolt right there to the right until belt is tight. How tight? Tight but loose enough to turn center (between crank and compressor pulley) 90 degrees. Tighten tensioner pulley up good and tight.
