So with the breaker bar hanging below the car you pulled toward the front in a counter clockwise turn to loosen?

 

Help me out here.

I posted pages of the factory manual detailing the removal installation/ instructions published by Nissan and it is still unclear?

Not everthing you read is true and accurate but I am going to assume the service manual is.

Yes, I did. I also stopped at my local Nissan dealer and asked the head tech which way it came off and he said the normal righty tightey lefty loosey. I even tried the bumping the starter technique to get the bolt loose but in the end the J hook method worked.

 

I tried again and cant get pulley to be still. VERY frustrating!!

 

Yes it is. Do you have a strap or J hook or anything that you can use to hold the pulley in place like I did?

 

My gosh, we have different people who are 100% positive that they are correct saying 100% opposite things here.

Let me try this one more time. For those of you who have done this yourself, looking at the engine from the passenger side, did you loosen the bolt by:

A) Turning the wrench clockwise (you put a wrench on the bolt in the 6 oclock position...hanging down, and twisted toward to the 7 o'clock position)

or

B) Turning the wrench counter-clockwise (you put a wrench on the bolt in the 6 oclock position...hanging down, and twisted toward to the 5 o'clock position)

Thanks.

 

B) Turning the wrench counter-clockwise (you put a wrench on the bolt in the 6 oclock position...hanging down, and twisted toward to the 5 o'clock position)

This is what I did 3-4 weeks ago.

 

And that is the correct answer.

For certain, my car is standard (lefty-loosey) thread. It just took an impact wrench to do it!

 

Are these belt sizes correct?

ALTERNATOR & A/C BELT:
GATES, Part# K060408
(41.5" or 1055mm) or
GATES, Part# K060410
(41" 5/8 or 1066mm)

POWER STEERING BELT:
GATES, Part# K040300
(30.75" or 780mm)
And are they the same for both swa and unorthodox pulleys?

 

Looks right to me, not sure about SWA, I only have a UDP...

 

I have the SWA and had to get the K060405 instead of the K060408. The K060410 worked just fine though.

 

To the top

 

Anyone notice a slight gas mileage increase after you installed the UDP?

I was getting arout 22.5 city, now I'm a little past 23. Could be my driving changed a little...but I don't think so.

 

for all interested, the pulley feels great. Time to dyno again.

 

how the hell am i only gettin 13.1 mpg?!?!?!??!?!

 

lma0 im at 13.5, but i def dont question why.

 

hehe yeah i really dont question why also, but still i didnt think you could get 22.5 city. Anyway, just ordered my Unorthodox UDP on ebay for i think 175 plus NY tax. =( ny tax... Came out to 190. Cant wait.
