They had several engine combos available...each with a different belt layout. Hard to look up without right year / engine combo.

Rotate the tensioner counter clockwise. It will be hard to reach from the top I think. Unless you have a belt tool.

more like impossible to reach and only about 1/2in from the frame. Anything that requires some sort of socket on the end will not go on it. DUMB

Once you actually see one you too will be scratching your head.

The tool and socket is ultra thin. The bar is 1/4 inch wide and 1/2 inch deep with the socket. the sockets fit inside the bar. Autozone may loan them...And Yes it is a bitch...I have done lots of them . A 2008 Nissan Rouge belt kicked my ass yesterday. The brake job took less time than the belt change. Even with my belt tool ! Are you local? OC area? I live in South OC and can loan my tool or stop over and help?

We did it by removing the alternator. Had to anyway as the alt died and the replacement wasn't any good either (thank you autozone) so we got to do it twice. Kind of a PITA way to do it, but got it done.

Thanks for the offer. Really appreciate that.
