CHANGING ALTERNATOR ON NISSAN MAXIMA
1) Disconnect negative battery cable. Jack up right front of car. Be sure to protect yourself with jackstands and rear wheel chocks. Safety first!
2) Remove the engine undercover (plastic under engine protector) on the right side
3) Remove the right front wheel.
4) Remove the right hand side inspection cover inside the wheel well. (I did not say this was a simple job.)
4a) Optional: Curse Nissan engineers for lack of foresight in maintenance.
5) Loosen the belt idler pulley (center of the pulley itself, I think its 14mm, but Do NOT loosend the bracket bolt)
6) Loosen the idler pulley tension (large, vertical nut above the idler pulley)
7) Remove the belt.
8) Replace with new belt.


Install is opposite of removal. You may have to wiggle a bit to slip it on correctly, but be patient, it will go
.
To replace alternator:

9) Get your **** under the car, fully supported on jackstands, and remove the 4 Air conditioner bolts
10)Slide the A/C compressor forward (don't drop it on your head!)
11) Disconnect the alternator harness connector (This may be tricky to do while mounted. If so, then with the help of a friend, remove the alternator following the steps below and remove the connection after the alternator is loose. DO NOT let the alternator hang by the wiring harness connections.)
12) Remove the wiring harness bracket from the alternator.
13) Remove the alternator upper and lower bolts. Slide Alternator down and forward to remove.
14) Install is opposite of removal.
Good Luck!
