The driver's side power seat in my 01 Pathfinder recently stopping moving forward/backward. I think it wore out because of the automatic movement that occurs when I put the key in/out. The kit to replace the motor and slide assembly is around $200 online. Here is a link to the TSB which shows how to perform the repair: http://maxima.theowensfamily.com/tsb/NTB02-001c.pdf The TSB is actually for a Maxima but the steps and parts numbers listed at the end of the TSB are the same. I ordered the part from David House at Couresty Nissan (www.courtesyparts.com) and he was a great help - he is the one that found the TSB for me. I just performed the repair this afternoon and now everything works great. Hopefully this info can help someone else who has this problem!

I need to replace a set of tires on a 2001 Pathfinder. I know the stock size is 255/65 but can you go a size wider? I know people do that frequently with car tires but I wasn't sure about SUV's. Also, does anyone have any good tire recommendations? Its not 4x4 so I just need a good highway tire. The tires on there now are Yoko Geolanders and I have been pretty happy with them.

I finally got around to taking the drums off today. The bolt I used to get the drums off was a M8-1.25x30 - it worked great. Once I got the drum off the shoes were hardly worn at all. If I had to guess I would say maybe 1/4 worn. The car has exactly 60k on it too. I just cleaned everything with brake parts cleaner and will see if I still get a squeal at low speed when they are cold. Thanks for all the help - replacing the shoes doesn't look too hard once you get the drum off.

I'm actually over 100 miles from the owners manual of the Pathfinder right now and will not see it until I need to do the work. Plus I need to order parts soon. I will definitely do the air filter as well but what about the belts?
-
What should be changed at 60k on an 01 Pathfinder? I know oil/filter and I had the tranny flushed recently but what else. I read the spark plugs are good until 105k. I am going to replace the fuel filter as well. Should the belts be replaced or just checked? I read on CourtesyParts.com that they recommend replacing the belts every 30k and these have never been replaced. I did a 60k tuneup on my Maxima and I replaced the PCV valve just for preventive maintance - is that smart?
-
What about wear - should the rear pads need replacing before 60k? Can I take the drum off and see the pad without removing all the springs/clips/etc? Anyone know the bolt size for an 01?
-
I would say I am pretty handy with cars and have changed more disc brake pads than I can count but I have never messed with drum brakes before. My family has two 01 Pathfinders, both of which have roughly 56k on them. The front brakes on both were just replaced - I believe for the first time. The rear brakes make a squeal every now and then, mainly when they are cold in the morning. This got me thinking: how long do drum brakes usually last, how hard are they to change, and should this be something I could do myself? Is there any way to see how much pad is left without taking the drum apart? Also, if anyone has a how-to or pictures of a rear brake change I would love to see them!

UPDATE: An identical part has been found on my dad's new 05 Frontier Crew Cab (sweet truck by the way). I will be posting pics later to show how it is attached. It is definitely an exhaust vibration isolator. How much should someone charge to weld it back on again?
-
Has anyone found this stuff at a US dealer? When I call around I get an invalid part number and they try to sell me some other stuff. They say its the only silicon lubricant they have - think its the same stuff?
-
Thank you so much for getting the part number. That is not what my local dealer had. I will post an update when I finally get it and try it on the car. Thanks again!

Just in case I ever need a good service guy, what was his name? The Maxima in my signiture came from Crown and my family has 2 other Nissans - never know when a strange problem might occur. As a matter of fact, I was out there this morning getting an oil filter for my Maxima. Good luck getting it fixed!
-
I just came from the dealership and the only can they had just said lubricant on it and was $14. I didn't buy it because the parts guy said the shop area buys their own stuff and may use something different. Runnerman, do you have a picture or exact name of the stuff? Thanks!
-
I tried silicon spray and it did not help. I have gotten a couple different kinds of lube on the glass and it is HORRIBLE trying to get it off. I ended up using paint thinner and it finally came off. Be VERY careful where you put stuff.

Dealers and their quality work (long)

from a fellow .org member. Glad they fixed everything and took responsibility for their error. Thats why I do everything I can myself. -
Anyone have a part number on this spray? My sisters PF does this and I tried EVERYTHING to fix it. I even bought a new seal (waste of $100) that goes around the window. The door has been apart about 5 times now. If I can fix it with a spray can I will be extremely happy and angry at the same time!
