Arg! Lost Idle Pully and Alternator Belt!!
So, I was pulling away from the tool booths right near my house on the NYS Thruway, and I heard a loud clunk. Look down and my battery and parking break light are on.
So, I pull over to find out that the idle pully and alternator/ac belt were gone. I figure the pully let loose and therefor caused the belt to loosen and fall off.
I figure that I didn't have the idle pully tight enough, I can't really think of any other explination. Any ideas?
I limped home (thank god I just put a new battery in) and shut everything down. Hopefully I'll be able to find a new belt and pully quickly out here tomorrow.

In case anyone cares...
I just went out the the thruway to see if I could find the belt and pully that fell off. After two passes I was able to find them, and there still in good shape.
Phew!

I went to Nissan today (to buy that bolt and washer) and they happened to have the entire idle pully assembly, so I just bought that.
All fixed.

The Williamsville Tools to the Depew exit is about 2 miles, so it wasn't really that big of a deal.
