how do I change the power steering belts and airconditioning belts in my nissan 2001 pathfinder. It is a LE 3.5 litre V6. What tools will I need

 

A 1/2 breaker bar or equivalent (to put on the belt tensioner).

You should just be able to pull back on this belt tensioner and slip the belts off.

I recommend getting a Haynes or Chiltons manual to help you.

 

12mm, 14mm wrenches, 12mm, 14mm 3/8 drive shalow sockets, 3/8 drive rachet and atleast 24" of 3/8 extension bar.

A/C belt= loosen the nut on the a/c idle pulley.

P/S belt= loosen the nut on the adjusting bracket from underneath.

The P/S belt adjusting bolt, clockwise= loosing. Counterclockwise=tighting.

Have fun.

 

Looks like I misread the post. I was thinking serpentine belt. Do as NewGuy stated for P/S, A/C belts.
