I mught need one soon so does anyone that had theirs replaced before at nissan, how much was it all together including labor charge? thanks

 

I dont know, but I just looked in the Haynes manual and it looks like a pain in the ***

 

Nissan dealerships charge around $500.
You can buy a rebuilt one for under $200 with a core exchange and do the work yourself.
I did the work with just the Hayes manual and absolutely no mechanical experience or ability.

 

320 from the dealer new and 185 for crapy rebuilt, priced this all out but then found out it was my ac pully and not the alt.

 

u should do it urself. I did it myself.. and learned a lot from it. Its not that hard. You just need the haynes manual. I bought a rebuilt altenator for like 75 i think and i didnt have to do a core exchange. You'll save a lot of money doing it on ur own.

 

What was wrong with your A/C pulley??? Noises??

 

it was making a horrible squeeling noise, thats what made me think it was the alt. then my belt broke so i check to see if the pully for the alt would spin and sure enough it did so i check the only other pully and it was the ac (big pully by the ground) and it was frozen solid had to have the whole compressor replaced now my ac blows at 43 deg.

 

i did get it replace at a dealership, but i got it under my warranty.
the alternator was $245. Tustin Nissan gave me a quote for $214.(if i just bought the alternator)
