How hard is it to replace the timing belt on a 1990 Frontier, V-6?? Any special tool, should you do the water pump or other parts while you are there? Have done my Miata a couple of times with no issues. Just wanting to get any ideas or suggestions. thanks.
Frontiers started production 1n 1998.
My bad. was doing some stuff on my 1990 Miata so I guess I had that on my mind. it is a 2000. So any one with any help on the initial question??
Take a look here:
Google for the factory service manual and it will be quite helpful. Here is one link that appears to have what you need:
I have to do my belt next year. It is also a 2000 Frontier. I'm not really looking forward to it. I previously had an '85 Hardbody on which I replaced the belt and it was just time consuming but not difficult. The minor engine changes since then have made the bypass hose virtually inaccessible so plan on replacing it along with any badly corroded water pipes that you can only access during the timing belt replacement.
Several sources sell "kits" with all of the parts normally needed including the water pump. For example, see:
Thanks for all the information on that.
