Timing Belt Replacement

Asked by meowmark Jun 08, 2018 at 09:23 PM about the 2000 Nissan Pathfinder SE Limited

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Replacing my timing belt on my 2000 Nissan Pathfinder. I could use some
advice because i've watched some videos saying that the rotor head in the
rotor cap is pointing to the number one sparkplug before removing the timing
belt. Also on this new timing belt, pictured, are the arrows facing me as in
towards the front of the car (does nor say FR/R)? Tips for aligment?

oh man, you have already started this? I would say this is a job for pros only- I mean, maybe if you had done it once or twice- I have panic attacks when I change a cambelt on a Fiat 124, and I've done it a dozen times- I don't do it any more- stress is bad for an old man- sorry to disappoint you, but there is no way I would attempt a modern V6 anything- I hope you get it, or someone here can help you- but I can't- other than to suggest "choose your battles wisely"
