Best Answer

The pulley directly below the compressor is the Power Steering pump, not an idler. It requires the use of a special GM power steering pully puller, usally available to rent at good auto part stores. The Idlers are the one between the alternator and a/c and the spring loaded tensioner is just below the alternator, both just bolt on. Removing the upper 1/2 of radiator shroud helps access to the front of the egine.

How do you replace the belt tensioner of a 96 Maxima 30?

Loosen the bolt in the center of the idler pulley. Then loosen the pulley and remove the belt. There is 3 bolts behind the idler pulley that remove the entire pulley assembly. One is located above the pulley to the top right and the other 2 bolts are below the pulley on either side. It will help to take the wheel off and remove the plastic access panel behind the wheel to the front side of the axle. Then you can drop the pulley out from the bottom and replace the pulley or whole assembly either one at this point. Reverse instructions to reassemble.

Easy, remove tensioner pulley (13mm left handed thread).

Costs around $100 all up and takes under an hour :D

How do you install an ac compressor belt on a Mitsubishi Eclipse?

You must put the car on jacks and get under it preferably when the engine is cool. Once under the car you will find the A/C compressor located under the brake fluid reservoir. Then locate the pulley which is just below the compressor if you are looking down into the engine bay then loosen this pulley by using a wrench or socket wrench with the nut that is directly in the middle of the pulley. Once complete the pulley should be loose enough to get the belt around it and the compressors pulley, if not you can use a belt stretcher found at any auto supply store. Once finished make sure to tighten the pulley back up but only enough so the belt is tight DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. The belt well have longer life if tightened correctly. GOOD LUCK!

How do you change out a compressor on a ac unit?

Remove and contain the refrigerant; if you suspect the compressor motor has a burnd-out; treat the refrigerant as contaminated. Disconnect the lines from the compressor, including electrical, replace the filter, and compressor, purge the system, check for leaks, vent the nitrogen, do a pull down below 500 microns, replace refrigerant, and oil. do a run up check pressures, and temp.


How do you change the AC compressor on a 22L 1996 S-10?

Have the system discharged by a licensed AC tech. Remove the belt. Remove the bolt from the Suction/Discharge hose on the back of the compressor. Remove the two pressure switch cables from the back of the compressor and the one from the front driver side. Remove the 4 bolts holding the compressor to the engine, 2 in the front and 2 in the back. Be sure to replace the orifice tube and accumulator when opening the AC system as most compressors will not be warrantied unless this is done. The orifice tube is in the high pressure line going into the evaporator, the accumulator is below the compressor, attached to the wheel well or frame. Installation is the reverse of removal.


How do you replace the drive belt on a 2000 Nissan Altima?

There are two belts on the 2000 Altima, the A/C compressor belt and the main belt. Remove the A/C belt first by loosening the nut in the middle of the idler pulley (the pulley below the compressor) and then loosening the tension bolt on the bottom of the idler pulley until enough slack is in the belt to pull it off. Remove the main belt by loosening the alternator which acts as an adjustable tensioner. Loosen the top and bottom bolts first then lossen the tension bolt until there is enough slack to remove the belt. To install new belts follow these instructions in reverse. Tighten the belts to about a 1/4" deflection and be sure to tighten all bolts. Notes: The lower dirt shield under the car may have to be removed first to gain access. Make sure to note the position of the belts through the pulleys before you remove the old ones. There may be a diagram under the hood of the belt route to use for a reference.
