HI guys,

I desperately need to replace ethe a/c clutch bearing on my maxima becuse that thing whines like crazy. The problem is that the car gets driven every day and I only have time to work on it at night. I wanted to bypass the a/c compressor entirely and just run a belt around the rest of the sprockets.

Does anyone know the part number or the size of the accessory belt that would span all pulleys BUT the A/c?

Thank you in advance for help.

 

Anyone?

 

(920mm 6rib) i did that when i had a 4th gen. Good luck.

 

you could get a fabric measuring tape and use it to measure the length you would need. The width specs will be the same. I would think the 4th gen belt length would be the same as well since it's the same engine essentially

 

Thank you so much for the response. That info is invaluable.

Did the 4th gen work? I heard maybe no?

 

This is deja vu...I thought I posted on this thread...there's another thread with the same ?.

 

Can anyone confirm if that size belt worked. i have the same promblem and can't afford any other fix at this time

 

I really wish I remembered the size but I don't

I had to bypass my AC a few summers ago and too expensive to replace it all. Match the ribs and take a few guesses unfortunately.

 

36 inch works. been there done that

 

Is that including using the idler pulley? Or just around the crank pulley and the alternator pulley as a straight shot?


I'm getting a belt tomorrow (now on my third) thats 36 and 1/8 inches.

Im hoping it will work.

37" was too loose.

 

so 36inches? does that use the idler pulley? i am doing this tomarrow, im pretty sure my pump is siezing at 202,000miles its not worth it up here to spend 350 on parts for 3 months of use a year

 

The acc belts are the same for 95-08 Maximas, just FYI, idler pulley is also the same PN.

 

ok i did it this morning 36 inch fits perfect you will need to use the idler pulley, and thats all the q's i had so i just answered myself
