are they very expensive.Do I need special tools to change it?|||You should not need any special tools as long as the new alternator comes with the pulley attached. A basic set of metric wrenches, a rachet and metric sockets should get the job done.
Should you need to swap the puller, just pull the old alternator off the car and take both new and old to a shop and have them swap the pulley out.
Before you start the job.....
Remember to disconnect the negative battery terminal and place the cable so it cannot accidently touch the terminal while you are working.|||Your best bet would be to go to a junk yard and get one if you dont mind it being used. However they can be very expensive. I have seen them range from $75 to $500 dollars.
In a Nissan I believe it will cost anywhere around $150-$200 and thats a ball-park figure. And if your getting it from the manufacturer.
You shouldnt need and special tools. Just a socket wrench and the right size socket. However the bolt could either be metric or standard. Its easier to get the thing out if you take the belt off first.
Should be a wheel down behind the alternator that you can use a big screw driver as leverage and tilt the wheel just right to make the belt slip off.
Sometimes on some vehicles you have to take off excess around the alternator just to get it out. They can be a pain!|||good luck|||If it has a Hitachi alternator, then there is a replaceable brush assembly that can be changed out. About 30 bucks.
