Kingman Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) There is a great how-to write up in the garage section along with links to download the factory service manual. Edited February 24, 2014 by Kingman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Goodyear, Bando, Gates, Dayco, Mitsumoto, Sumitomo, etc. All good stuff. Stay away from the cheap Chinese garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Get the belts with the pulley orientation marks on the sides, they are quality and convenient. That would be dealership, Gates and a few others IIRC. You can always order them from our local dealership parts pimp, Alkorahil. Great guy and prices (he can set you up with some of the other parts to change as well). Check out the Classifieds/Services section. Yeah, I'm pimping the pimp...

adamzan Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I have a gates belt on mine, and used a dayco on my friends xterra (same belt). Both have the timing lines on it and work just like the factory ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreus009 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Just an FYI since it wasn't already mentioned here. Typically, you do the water pump at the same time since its right there in front of you when you are doing the timing belt. Otherwise, if you wait for pump to fail you have to do the same tear down again and risk the timing belt by getting coolant on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I changed everything: crank/cam seals, thermostat, bypass hose, timing belt, tensioner, water pump, fan clutch and radiator hoses. It wasn't that expensive and I don't plan to touch anything there until the next timing belt change in 95k miles... he can set you up with some of the other parts to change as well B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
