How difficult is it to change the timing belt on a 2002 Nissan maxima? What tools and steps do I need to take? Can a guy with basic tool and automechanics skills do it or does it need to go to the nissan shop?

      No steps, no timing belt. The Max like all late-model Nissan’s uses a Timing Chain, not a belt which never has to be serviced.
