What are the steps to change a timing belt on a 2002 Nissan Maxima?

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.

Maxima comes with 3.0-liter DOHC 222-horsepower (3.5-liter 255-horsepower from 2002) V6 engine model VQ, also found in the Nissan Pathfinder and Murano. With ample power, excellent low-end torque, advanced lightweight design and high durability, this engine is one of the best in its class. Good news, there is no timing belt that would need regular replacement, silent chain is used instead. Platinum spark plugs provide longer service intervals.
If your asking this type of question your probably not qualified to be given steps on how to change it. Just looking out for you and wouldn't want for you to mess anything up with your car. It's best that you just bring it in.
