Nissan removed the pulley in 07, hence why a factory spacer is available.

Just ask for 07-08 FX35 belts and you should be fine. There's 2. 07 G35 coupe belts would work also, but the 07 Sedan had a different engine and some stores might not have accurate info in their databases (ie accidentally give you 07 sedan belts instead of 07 coupe belts).

steppin up the pulley game

So my question is has anyone deleted more than just the powersteering idler pulley only? Say for instance the a/c idler pulley or the alternator idler pulley or even all 3 extra pulleys but keep the main ones? Just use a shorter belt, less weight, less drag on motor and less bearings to worry about going wrong? Any drawback or anyone tried this before?

The goal is daily driver with a/c and powersteering but to drop the extra weight and problems down the line with all the extra parts. I've been playing with the idea for sometime and maybe it might be something worth looking into. Any input would be appreciated.

The pulley in this post is the only one you can delete and keep all of the accessories functional. The other two pullies are what puts tension on the belts. Without them you wouldn't be able tighten up and secure the belts. You can theoretically delete the a/c by just removing the belt but that won't meet your needs.

Just delete the one extra pulley and be done with it.

I'm changing my belts and decided to remove the idler pulley. The pulley assembly was really tight to wiggle out from between the PS bracket and motor. I finally got it out with a mallet but now I cannot get the spacer in at all. I've tried using screwdrivers, pry bars and other things but that bracket will not budge.

Is there a trick or other tips that might help in getting the spacer in there? I also loosened the bolt behind the PS pulley but still no luck.

Did anyone else have also issue getting a spacer back into the slot?

Thanks!
