asked by on June 05, 2017

How do you replace the belt tension assembly on a Nissan versa 2009 1.8 L. hatchback. I can't access the bolt between the engine and the fender wall. Do I need to drop the engine for access? What is your charge to complete this job. I put on a new belt but the pulley bearing is shot on the tension assembly.

My car has 123000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
