How to change the drive belt on the Nissan xtrail T30, T31?
In this video I change the worn drive (serpentine) belt on my 2005 Nissan Xtrail 4WD 2.5L Petrol, T30. This process maybe the same for the T31. The belt I used was a Gates 6PK2250 with a 100,000km warranty. Tools needed, 6mm steel rod, flat screw driver, 10mm socket and rachet, 14mm box spanner. My other xtrail videos are: Loading…
How to replace a drive belt on an X Trail?
It is also simple to replace using a 14mm socket or ring spanner but place your finger behind the bolt to stop the captive nut from falling out. Undo and tension with the 6mm rod / bolt etc in the locking hole so you aren’t stressing the tensioner / drive belt. The old pulley and bearing seemed fine to me.
How to remove tensioner from X Trail engine?
There are 2 x 12mm bolts holding the tensioner on to the crankcase. Remove the tensioner pulley for ease of access and release the 6mm tensioner locking pin. The bottom bolt is fairly easy to remove. The top bolt is a pain. You will need a deep 3/8″ x 12mm drive socket or a deep 12mm ring spanner to access it.
