I made a how to video on how to replace alternator on a Nissan Pathfinder which apply to the following years 1995-2003. I showed all the ins and out on what to do
Thanks a bunch for the great video. I had to refer to it a few times while replacing the alternator. The biggest problem I had was removing the plastic electrical connector from the old unit. Well done!
What you failed to tell people is there’s a but behind the top bolt of the Alternator that drop in the back of it when you take it off. Other than that nice video!!
Thanks chuy. I just needed help with that plastic connector and you came through. I found that connector to be the hardest part. Its a pain in the ass all around.
By the way you don't have to pry the belt off you have to loosen the bolt on the idler pulley and there's a bolt underneath attached you loosen that and it drops down for a tensioner😅
When I do this I take the battery out of the car and give it a charge off to the side as it provides elbow room and gives it a good charge, possibly needed after being downstream from a bad alternator.
Hi, great video. Isn't there a locking bolt on the back of the alternator for one of the two bolts that mount it? I didn't see it mentioned in the video. I'm wondering how you got it back on if you did.
There’s a 12mm bolt right under the tensioner pulley, the tensioner pulley is the one right next to the alternator and you’ll have to loosen it from the bottom of the car. Once you start loosening the bolt the pulley will slowly drop and release tension.
@@chuythemobilemechanic I thought that's what this was about but we did get some good shots of the green shirt you was wearing.LOL Well I'll get the knowledge off another channel !!
My 02 pathfinder Alternator just caught on fire on Tuesday. Thanks for the video.
Thanks chuy! Just replaced mine in a 2003 QX4 after I got the confidence with help of watching this video
THANK YOU FOR THE INFO. JUST FINISH REPLACING MINE IN ABOUT 2 HOURS, JUST CAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE ALL THE RIGHT TOOLS ON HAND.
Dude you forgot to loosen belt tensioner after loosening tension pulley.
Good job. You are a patient and gentle man. I would have been cussing many times throughout that tutorial.
Lol. Thanks for watching
Same here,I just replaced one on a 02 and my hands were bloody and cut all up, cussing and fighting it whole time

I benefited from watching your video. Thanks.
Great video!

Can you get to the alternator from the bottom ? Wouldn’t it be easier ?

Ya don't you disconnect the battery??

Thanks brother
The belt tensioners are actually pretty easy to adjust on these. I had to figure it out myself.
Yeah sorry I didn’t have the time i just replaced alternator. You should make a video of it. Share the knowledge lol

What does the smaller belt on the right control?
AC compressor
Get a $5 magnetic tray, bro..... it'll save your ass.
Doesnt apply to 95, completely different pulley system
I can't even see what you're unscrewing this is no help
Alguien podría indicar que número de banda utiliza la Nissan
This does not apply to my 1998 3.3L vg33e Pathfinder. Different setup. Designers must have changed it.
This is the 3.5 L V-6. Timing chain vs your timing belt that needs to be replaced.
This don't apply to my 2000 pathfinder set up is different
What engine is this for
That's a VQ35de

@@AFatherToTheFatherless 🤣🤣🤣 3.5L V6
all in all this a pain in the ass job to do. we have to thank the MFs who designed the freaking cars
Without being able to see what's going on, it's less than useless. You were in the way so much of the time the information you gave was not useable.
Yeah that's what I said
