Refit the tensioner assembly and follow the previous steps in reverse installing new belt and appying locktite/permatex or similar to all bolts as they are refitted. Fill with new coolant, run engine with radiatior cap off to purge air from system and top up.
These are the part numbers as supplied by Repco.
Hope this helps anyone with the process. I did this job following a high pitch noise that developed at a certain rev range which was identified as the bearing in the pulley. Its a pretty easy job, don't be afraid to have a crack at it.

How much did the parts from Repco cost? They should have been cheaper than Nissan.I my have to change my idler pully soon as my one is making a bit of a noise.

Thanks for posting and putting up pics. Really usefull, I have been carrying spare fan belts, thinking that should I break one, I would have to figure out how to fix it... at least I know where to start!

Off the top of my head, about $60 for both... would have to look back through some receipts to be sure but it was bugger all really. I do recall buying coolant and brake pads etc etc at the same time and only spent a couple 'a hundred.

Yes, you probably could do it without removing the radiator/shroud, but it'd be tight and I like to keep the skin on my knuckles where possible!!

Not too sure on km's, would have to check the service manual, but if its showing signs of cracking or hardening/perishing I'd be doing it (the under side is where you'll see it best).
When you do, have a feel of the idler pulley and if there's any play in the bearing do it aswell. In fact I'd be doing both for the sake of another few bucks.

yeah I think the belt is ok so far but I`m nearly at 150 k and was thinking I would put on a new one and keep the old one for a spare .This way I could prevent getting caught out when least expected.Also great idea about the idler pulley.

Fair enough, good idea to have a spare. My idler failed at just under 100k so you've not had a bad run.
