I can’t find a video of someone doing the timing on a 02 pathfinder trying to find one that shows you step by step everything you gotta remove to get to it , I’m just a Salvadoran chick on a mission to get my car started doing it alone a video would help tremendously I got the manual so I know the steps I just learn better wirh visual

If your goal is to get to the timing chain for removal or inspection, a good illustrated repair manual with actual pictures of the process steps would be helpful. The Nissan factory service manual will have the basic steps on what to do but does not explain how to do it. A video of all that is involved would be many hours in length and not likely to capture every visual detail. If such a video exists on YouTube, or somewhere else, it would have to be broken up into multiple videos to show all the dismantling procedures. The process involves an extensive dismantling of much of the engine.

A very good illustrated repair manual I use, aside from the Nissan FSM, is published by Haynes. This manual is a good place to start, for a better understanding of all that is involved. It has saved me countless hours and a great deal of money working on my Pathfinder. https://www.amazon.com/Nissan-Frontier- ... 1563926105
