Couldn't even get to the point where I had to bend the tab in the wheel well until I did 2 more things past what you did. 1) removed the spacer for the lower idler held on by 2 10mm bolts and idler bolt. 2) used an impact gun to remove the pulley through the wheel well. After that it came out easy - no bending anything. Remove pulley on replacement part, put it in and re-install pulley through wheel well. Hope that helps someone. Appreciate that you did this video - there's little info about this PITA year 3.5 Altima.
I'm about to do this job. Was gonna remove the idler pulley, disconnect the ac and drop that down a bit and then drop one side of the subframe...need to replace a control arm anyways
Dudes clueless, no need to pull fan or drain coolant. Unbolt ac comp, let hang, loosen two front subframe bolts, unclip power steering line, snakes 🐍 out bottom
why take the fan out if you are removing thru the wheel well?
You suck bro
I'm stuck on the part removing the AC compressor. I have it loose, but can't lower it enough out of the way. Did you disconnect the wires from it?

How did you get the the ac comp bolt top
The top front bolt for the ac compressor looks like a pain to get to, are you able to remove it without removing anything else around it?
About to do this job tomorrow I'll let ya know how it goes
Pendejo,
This video is not helpful at all. Look like the first 95% of this video is missing.
"I'm cheap..." as he raises his lift. Lol. Did you make the first part of the video where you physically removed the alternator?
What caused the coolant leak. I'm confused
Man I need some help
Makes a video on how to remove alternator... Already removed alternator 🤦🏽♂️
