One of the simplest to the point videos I’ve watched. Thank you so much

I am extremely grateful for this video. I was trying to change the belt on my 2016 isuzu kb300lx and couldn't understand why the pulley wasn't getting loose after I released the bolt. It never cross my mind to release the nut on the pulley. Thanks a million!

Love it! great video sir. Just one question, does this technique of tightening and loosening apply with the other drive belts on this particular nissan youre working on? like on the alternator belt, power steering belt, and AC compressor belt, does this method apply to all of those belts?

Hey I was wondering if I still had to loosen the hold-down nut if I only want to tighten the tensioner?

[michaelmay]

Anybody know the torque spec for that hold down nut on the pulley? Thanks!
