trenton163 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I was just wondering if anybody has any experience about changing a timing belt. I am thinking about doing it myself to save money but im not sure how hard it is? I have a little experience with working cars but this would be the biggest job that I have done. I don't have any special tools but I do have a service manual. But the timing belt is a very precise thing. So if anybody has done it before I would appreciate your input on whether or not I could tackle it myself. Thanks, Trenton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Nope, no one here changes their own belt. Seriously though, if you have some mechanical experience, access to tools and a good place to work and want to learn, you can do it yourself and save a lot of cash at the same time. Read these two threads and ask if there is something you need clarified. You'll need a fair tool selection (wrenches, sockets and goodies, harmonic balancer puller, breaker bar, etc) but it really isn't that hard. http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=12828 http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=23280 B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
