I did just this but please don't hold me to a less than finesse method. My mechanic stated you should be able to replace the belt by putting a wrench on the idler nut and pushing back towards the firewall. In my case I think the idler has very limited travel so it did not work. In conjuntion with the idler push I pulled the two mounting bolts out of the alternator (2 different sized heads) but left the third bolt in place (torques or Allen head). With a mallot I was able to loosen the alternator enough to remove the old belt. NOW you need a second person and a flat pry bar. With the belt in place it would not go till we pryed down on the alternator and kept tensioning the belt around crackshaft and idler. Once on you then need to slowly pry up on the alternator and pulling on the belt and tapping none to gently on the flat bar with the mallet. You will then be able re-insert the bolts while the second person applies the pressure to hold the alternator in place. Without the second person on the flat bar and a heavy rubber mallet you are doomed. Worked for me.
simple use sumthing to cut the belt
It is a little tricky. I would suggest buying a haynes or a chilton manual. You can find them at autozone.
Disconnect both battery terminals. loosen the alt. bolts, remove the drive belt. then remove the bolts holding thr alt.
The alternator on a 92 Nissan Maxima is changed by disconnecting the wiring harness, loosening the retaining bolts, and removing the drive belt. The bolts can then be fully removed and the alternator swapped out.
it means your alternator is probably gone, and u need to replace it
Not sure if the 92 is the same as the 91, but on the 91 you need to loosen the adjusting idler on the alternator on top and the a/c idler from the bottom. remove the a/c belt & install the alt. belt, make sure your route is correct between the two guide as the belt goes up to the idler... hope that helps.
It is built inside of the alternator, Will have to replace alternator, it's all one unit.
Remove belt pressure via the tensioning pully. Remove belt from alternator pully. Remove negative battery terminal. Disconnect wiring. Remove bolts. Remove altinator. Replace altinator. Reinstall bolts and connect wiring. Reinstall belt and negative terminal. It should take around 20 minutes.
how do you set timing on a 92 geo prizm if timing belt has broken
is included with timing belt service
You have to do it from under the car. It's a royal pain in the butt. Plan on spending several hours on this one. Space is very limited. Make sure you disconnect the battery before starting this job too.
On my '92 it is below and behind (towards the back of the engine) the water pump. It can be easily recognized on most cars because it's only pulley that rolls on the BACK of the serpentine belt; a BRILLIANT idea if you ask me.
