I have an 08 Rogue and planning to change belt this weekend because it sounds squeaky and it's been a few miles since I got the car. Can someone help me or direct me to a page that can show me how to do the change. Thanks

Just thinking off the top of my head, there should be a tensioner that might look something like this

Put a 3/8 breaker bar in it and pull to the side and off come the belt. Do the same thing when putting it on. Some tensioners have bolt heads to grab instead of a spare.

How many miles are on it? Have you checked with the dealer to make sure there isn't a tech tip for this issue? I know that the VQ40 that are in the Frontier and Pathfinder had bad alignment of the tensioner causing premature failure on the tensioner and the belt itself.
