so the belt immediately comes off as soon as car is started. The rust bucket 2000 Maxima 3.0 VQ engine. I am suspecting compressor mounting has shifted or worse some front frame member cracked making the pulleys no longer in perfect plane any more. I lost lot of skin and blood trying to install the new belt from the top without taking apart anything even the splash guard shields. I was wondering how the old intact belt just dropped on the road. Well, after trying to put the new one, twice, I realized that something is seriously wrong :-(
The youtube video is here to show the offending bolt which I could only feel by my finger touching the belt.
Time Marker 12:50 aka 770 seconds; I am having trouble including the link with the start time.
