I have got the upgraded belt and new tensioner which lasted about 15, 000 miles. Then had to do timing chains so I check the alignment of the power steering pulley which was good. Then bought another upgraded belt and pulley and the squeal came back. I have a nissan master tech friend that helped/di...

My 2006 was not to bad of a job but they can stick a little. No puller or press needed.

Helped my buddy do mine 2006 and it is a huge amount of work. Good thing he is a nissan mechanic.

Save your self time and just cut the bolts. I used a Sawzall. There is a 99% chance they won't come out. I wasted a few hours soaking them and heating them.

I couldn't bring myself to pay 300 bucks for plastic fittings and tubing. I removed the stock TEE and aluminum tubing(cut the rubber hose just before the start of the tubing). Bought a TEE at Napa which was universal it could accept 5/8 heater hose or 3/4 inch hose and two splices to connect the 5/8...
