How to Replace Nissan Quest 2006 Alternator

In this video we replace a Nissan Quest 2006 Alternator.  The symptoms were simultaneous flashing of brake and battery lights.  We took it to Advance Auto Parts and free testing showed bad alternator.

We had trouble removing the 14mm lower alternator nut (Nissan part # 08918-3401A).  We used Irwin Bolt Out product (available at Advance Auto Parts) for easy removal.  To install the lower alternator bolt you can go under car and squeeze you arm in between engine and oxygen sensor but it is an extremely tight fit and start to introduce the bolt and then finish the bolt insertion by tapping from front of vehicle.  Others have used a fishing line to accomplish this: x.nissanhelp.com
You can probably try to insert this bolt using very long pliers from front of vehicle and then finishing by tapping bolt (I recommend trying this approach).  Note that lower alternator bolt should go in easily, if not you need to move alternator until all holes are aligned.

Torque settings: lower alternator nut 62 ft-lb; upper alternator bolt 21 ft-lb; idler pulley lock nut 26 ft-lb; after adjusting belt tension and tightening idler pulley lock nut, tighten belt adjusting bolt to 48 in-lb.

Alternator belt tension adjustment: a new alternator belt should deflect 3.7 - 4.1mm (tension check point is between alternator and air conditioner compressor).

This car needs coolant replaced under vacuum to avoid air pockets.  After installing alternator I used the old coolant and then took it to Sears for a coolant exchange.

The torque for the oil cooler bolt is 36 ft-lb and 13 ft-lb for the oil filter.

PCV Valve Replacement on Nissan Altima 2001

This is a video on the replacement of the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) Valve on Nissan Altima 2001 (Part # 11810-6P000). Note this valve is push in type for years1998-2001. Using this method you DO NOT have to get under the car, move the Power Steering Pump or remove the breather separator.  To get access to the PCV Valve the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (ECTS) was removed (using 19mm 12pt deep socket).  Note that some 19mm deep sockets wont work.  I had to return one to Advance Auto Parts since the opening diameter on the inside only extended a small distance before narrowing but the Craftsman from Sears worked since the opening diameter continued deep into the socket not obstructing the plastic part of the ECTS. We opened air relief hole when refilling coolant (less than 1 gallon was needed) and then when coolant started to spill, we then put back the air releif plug (torque of 61-69 in-lb). 

*** FYI: Some people have broken the rubber hose (Part # 11826-9E000) while trying this.  Someone did manage to replace both the PCV valve and the hose but it was extremely difficult.  ***

How to Replace Buzzer from 2006 Nissan Quest

Hi,
Here is a video on how to replace the back up buzzer (speaker) [Nissan Part # 25640-7S200 and clips holding it in place Part #01553-03131] from 2006 Nissan Quest. Note, on the car the white/green cable is positive and the red cable is negative.

In this video an 8 ohm speaker from RadioShack was used.   I have a few brand new original speakers with the correct specs for sale (so perfect fit with no need for modifications).  I only have the speaker so you will have to reuse the plastic casing from the speaker to be replaced.

Here is the link: BUY NEW ORIGINAL SPEAKER HERE!

Enjoy!
