I'm not sure, I think it might have an o-ring, but I can't say for sure.

Oh ok thanks. I know you had one in your DIY.

Just checked the service manual. The O-Ring is listed but theres no part number. Do I have to use a Nissan one or will a universal one from Home Depot work?

Thanks for these DIY videos, great help with saving some coin and time.

Just had 1 question, is there a alternative to using the belt tension gauge for chking the drive belt tension.

I read some where that a simple thumb and finger rule could be used (like say using the thumb and finger to try and turn the belt, if u can turn it easily beyond a half turn, its too loose and if u cant turn it @ all, then its too tight).

i suppose i could chk how much tension i have on the old belts before i remove then and then try to get as close as i can on to the new belts...

any other suggestions

In the video, I'm pretty sure you're disconnecting the line from the driver's side -- that must be the return line on whatever model year you're working on. I disconnected the one on the driver's side (of course, not verifying in the '06 service manual that that's the return line on my car) and sure enough, it's the send line on my '06 and it shot the pen out of the hose and sprayed fluid all over the floor. I used a lot of *'s on that one!

The moral: make sure that you verify what's what on your specific model, in addition to using Eugene's terrific and detailed videos. Your particular model may vary from the one he's working on. Happy DIY'ing!
I just learned that the 06 service manual is incorrect in showing the return line (outlet hose), see image. Following the manual blew my pen out as well.

Hi there.

I'm pretty new to the DIY scene and was wondering what tools I should buy to start me off with the basic stuff (such as the replacement of cabin air filter and engine air filter etc.)

thanks again to the person in all the DIY videos (Eugene i think ) and all those involved in making the videos.

Just a simple automotive toolkit will do with the standard wrenches and screw driver bits. I think I paid $20 for my first one from Kragen, like 15 years ago...

Thanks for the reply.
I live in Canada so I was hoping if I could get some links it would be great.

We have parts source, piston ring, Canadian Tire and Walmart.

I guess i go look for a basic car toolkit with these vendors.
Hopefully they should have one.

So a decent price is around $30 for a kit?

I would say so. Sounds to me like you're not even going to elevate the car, so basic tools should suffice.
