Hey guys,if i had to replace my belt tensioner assembly how much would it cost,because of a bolt snaping not on the pulleys i think the adjustment bolt,i was trying to turn it when trying to remove alternator.Im still going to see if i can fix it but what would it cost for a new assembly.unless anyone has the peice for me for like 5 bucks.

 

that is not a cheap piece. i'm not sure of price, but i am pretty sure you'll hae to get it from a dealer.

 

i got an extra assembly from the junkyard for $5

 

I called carquest about a year ago they told me like 35, new

I paid around 60 for the part at the dealer.

 

do you think id be able to drive my car to my buddies place.its about 15 mins away from my house.if i drive there we will be able to fix everything.but i dont know if ill be ok with that broke

 

If the tensioner is not excerting tension on the belts, then the serpentine belt will not have enough tension to turn the alternator, which means your battery won't get charged, which means your car will only run until your battery drains.

 

I just replaced mine from pinnacle nissan and you can buy the parts individually online. the adjust bolt was $9 and change and the nut was $4 and change. Look for ac belt tensioner.

 

Its $111.30 Canadian From The Dealer Part # Is 11925-31u0b

 

$52 after tax from the Dealer. Brand new it spins far better and easier than my old one I stole off my beater. I'd get it new.

 

so how long you thing a non charging battery at full charge would last?i need to get to my friend garage

 

I wouldnt anticipating it lasting more than 5 minutes.

 

Great i guess ill have it towed

 

The tensioner pulley assembly is the same for all 95-04 Maximas. Maybe even later.

Get one from a junkyard or from www.courtesyparts.com, or www.pinnaclenissan.com. part is ~ 43$

make sure the rear bracket is still in good shape since the tensioner pulley comes separate.


You can drive it for a short distance if you have good battery power. I drove 35 miles one time (~45 mins) w/o one.

 

Is the belt tight or will it slip right off in your hands? If you cant pull it off with your hands, drive the car. Dont rev it too high. Save yoruself the towing fee.

 

I got the part after that i needed from nissan. costs 26 bucks.Its the adjustment bolt and the peice that screws into the bolt.As for driving the car,even tho the bolt cracked its still solid and only a couple nuts and such are took off my alternator but its not off.And when it comes to reving the car, its an auto so no reving like a 5spd(i wish it was 5spd).I charged my battery all the way up and i have to go about 15 mins.I think i can make it

 

O I just realized the bracket on the assembly the top of it is where it was turned and it cracked. thats the only thing other the that its all still together and even that bolt didnt come out of the bracket.

 

check here it don't show on picture but comes with the tension bolt with shipping it cost me 54.99

I got everything i needed for the 26 bucks from nissan and im going to fix my car when i gets a chance

 

not bad, you made out pretty good. I took mine all apart and drilled and tapped it. Then welded some threaded rod onto the other piece. I think it's stronger than the original one.

 

It was only the adjustment bolt and the adjustment peice that goes into the bolt thats all i needed
