Serpentine belt replacement
#31
If you have a shop do it, make sure to ask for Napa/Gates belts so they don't just use some cheap POS.
I change mine every year but it's very hot here in Phoenix and my engine bay also has a lot more heat than the normal G's. Plus the way things have been the last few years I seem to have my motor out once a year anyway. LOL

how hard is it to really do this yourself? is it a big head ache to buy the 2 belts yourself and try to do it? Can everything be done from the top. I have no stands to get under the bar from bottom. I dont want to mess anything up then too late because i already took other belts off.

useful thread. thanks for the info guys my car's @ 69K now and they recommended i change the belts. alternator belt was worse than the ac belt. called the local herb chambers infiniti dealership and its like $230 total. Getting it done @ valvoline this afternoon for about $120 but an extra 15% off since im a teacher, so it'll be about $100 even.

I keep getting told that there's only one belt for both AC and power steering. Is it because I have a coupe? Firestone told me its two belts while everyone else said its just one.
I need to have mine changed now that I'm at 45k miles. Sears is charging $75, Pep Boys $106, Firestone is $130. They all use Dayco although Firestone might use Gates.

It's really fairly simple. I used an online video in YouTube and one from Infinitihelp. Followed it step by step and wallaaaah, 1 hour later it was done. It took me longer b/c I don't have the strength needed to maneuver as easily as you guys. It saved me $70+; however, I make very, very good money
so that's not an issue.
My thinking is that if a completely non-mechanically minded muchacha can do this, most everyone else with:
*** all appendages attached,
*** >2 firing neurons,
*** who's breathing, and
*** has a pulse of 60-80BPM,
can also do it. I'd much rather learn just in case I'm ever stranded somewhere on some lonely rode in backwater Alabama or Nevada.
