My 98" Pathfinder has over 135K miles so it's way past time.

I have the Haynes manual, but could benefit from some other resources.

Where is the best place to purchase a quality replacement? Anything else to check or replace while I'm in there? I also going to replace the fan, etc. belts.

Any input is appreciated.

if you are going to change the timing belt. Change the water pump, change all 3 belt and check the fan clutck. I am not sure if the 98 pathfinder have a fan clutch.

Do have the factory service manual.

Follow the parts about what to align with what RELIGIOUSLY, and double andtriple check that it didn't move.

Make sure you have all the gaskets and sealants you need before you start.
