Belts

[carguy4sp]

Well I just changed my belts on my 06 Murano and it was not an easy task, however once you do it one time the next time will be alot eaiser.

It took me 3 hours because I was very cautious due to the posts of others breaking bolts, pullies etc.

I took my time and I did remove some unnecessary items to get better access and to be able to see what I needed to see.

I purchased NAPA belts so the size was a little diffrent but worked very well, just could not use the count method to tighten everything up again, had to use the deflection method of 1/4".

Just remember tightening the tensioner will loosen the belts.

Having the dealer do these belts was the best $116 I ever spent - $141 parts and labor minus a $25 dealer service promo. Plus, since this was the first (and only so far, in almost 6 years and 80K miles) service I've paid the dealer to do, it gave me a good chance to maintain some relationship with the service dept. A win-win for all.

Did you do it from above or by removing the right front wheel and inner fender well panel?

Thanks very much. I have the belts but still have not made up my mind to do it myself or have someone else do it.
