How hard is it to remove the radiator in a 2003 V6?
I need to change belts, and it seems I would have a LOT more room if I removed the radiator.

Yes you will have more room BUT you do NOT need to remove the radiator to change the belts.

It's not a bad job ... get the OE Nissan belts. No more expensive and they are quiet. Especially the AC belt

The belts took me about 45 mins going pretty slow. The hardest part in my opinion is taking off the bottom splash tray which you will need to gain access from the bottom.
The only other difficult part is snaking the belt around the fan.

Sweet. I already have the splash guard removed (because it only had 3 bolts holding it on and was sagging). Guess I can make pretty quick work of it.

Followup, I changed the belts a few weeks ago. It was simple. Thanks.
