1.  Raise the hood and secure it with the stop.

2.  Pry with a flathead screwdriver and pull out the 4 clips and 2 latches (located on the inside) of the radiator grille.

This is what the latch looks like from the inside of the grille

3.  Unfasten 4 latches of the bottom fastening of a radiator grille.

4.  Wring out clamps of fastening of a lattice of a radiator to the right and left headlight.

5.  Pull towards you and remove the plastic grille. 

6.  Place the car on a lift and remove the right front wheel. If not possible, jack up the front of the vehicle and place it on jack stands.

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.

9.  Visually inspect the condition of the belt. If the belt shows signs of severe wear (the disappearance of two or more adjacent ribs of the streams in a section longer than 13 mm), longitudinal or transverse cracks, rubber peeling or the drive belt is oily, it must be replaced.

10.  Use a 13 mm socket to loosen the tension roller fastening nut.

11.  Turn the adjusting bolt counterclockwise to loosen the Nissan Note drive belt.

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

Note:

If the accessory drive belt is not being removed for replacement, mark with an arrow  the direction the belt will travel when the engine is running. Then, with further assembly, it will be easier to install it in the same position.

13.  Replace the Nissan Note engine drive belt with a new one.

14.  Install a new Nissan Note drive belt in the reverse order of removal. Make sure that when installing it, the wedge tracks coincide with the pulley grooves and tension it.

15.  Turn the engine crankshaft 2 turns or more.

16.  Adjust the tension of the Nissan Note drive belt: press the belt branch between the crankshaft pulleys and the air conditioning compressor with your finger. When pressed with a force of 98 N (10 kg), the deflection of the belt should be  H  - 4.8-5.3 mm (old belt), and 4.2-4.5 mm (new belt).

Note:

A steelyard can be used to measure the tension of the accessory drive belt. Install the steelyard in the middle of the  belt run between the crankshaft pulleys and the A/C compressor. Apply a force of 10 kg and measure the deflection of the belt.

17.  If the belt deflection is greater than the measured one, tighten the Nissan Note drive belt: loosen the tension roller fastening nut and, turning the tensioner adjusting bolt clockwise, tighten the belt.

18.  Recheck the tension of the accessory drive belt.
