DIY Replacing A/C & Alternator Belt Adjuster 2000 Infiniti I30

 This is a DIY on a 2000 Infiniti I30 on how to replace a alternator and a/c belt tensioner

First thing you do is to loosen up the belt from the top where the adjusting screw is located 

Once the belt is loose then you can remove the belt then take the pulley off - from there you remove the three bolts holding the bracket 

This is what it looks like apart - you must use the old brace for the tensioner 

This is what it looks like before you install the belt tensioner back 

You have to put this back first before you put the pulley wheel 

Then adjust the belt with a new belt 

Make sure the belt is properly tight so you can avoid squeaking - this belt is in the front of the power steering belt - might be a good time to change both
