Alternator Belt!

I have a VG33 in my 2004 xterra, and I snapped the alternator belt. I noticed there are 2 other belts in front of the alternator belt. Anyone have any tips or tricks? Am I taking all the belts off? Whats the degree of difficulty? Thanks in advance for your input!

This guy does a pretty good job of explaining things when it comes to Nissan.

You are correct, however the tensioner location is what I needed, and the picture worked great.


On an unrelated note, After replacing 2 of the 3 belts, I now have a CEL, and its for O2 Sensor 2 Bank 2, and For Crankshaft sensor. I had no CEL issues before losing my alternator belt. Should I just proceed with replacing the sensors? Is this a coincidence? Any input at all will make me feel better.
Have you cleared them and run the truck just see what happens? Do they reappear after you put some miles on it?
