Removing alternator Nissan Note 2004 - 2012

Note:

Removal of the generator is shown on the example of a car with an HR16DE engine. Removing the alternator on a vehicle with a CR14DE engine  differs in how the accessory drive belts are removed.

7.  In the wheel arch, prying with a screwdriver, pull out the caps securing the fender liner to the bumper. Remove 2 screws from the bottom.

8.  Fold back the fender liner.

This will give you access to the drive belt.

9.  With a 13 mm head, loosen the tension roller fastening nut.

10.  Turn the adjusting bolt counterclockwise to loosen the drive belt tension.

11.  Remove the accessory drive belt from the alternator pulley, A/C compressor pulley, water pump and crankshaft pulley.
