How do repair a 1998 Nissan Sentra Alternator Belt?

In: Nissan Sentra [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

The only way to repair a belt is to replace it. It's kinda a pain in the butt on this car, I know I did it today. There is a 8mm tensioning bolt toward the front of the car, between the alternator and the air conditioner compressor. Loosen the 14mm bolt in the center of the idler pulley, and then loosen the 8mm tensioner bolt till the belt can be slipped off. This takes a great deal of patience and small hands are helpful too. I had to use a small wrench as there is no room for a ratchet. Reverse the process to install the new belt.
