Coolant is going to come out of the hose. I would drain the radiator using the radiator petcock to get a good amount of the coolant out, but some will still pour out when you remove the hose. At that point, if you have good access to both ends of the hose, you could remove it altogether to get it o...

vent output issue

got a 2005 se v6. have not used heat or AC for about half a year. but with the latest blitz of cold at north mid west, i turned on the heat and noticed that it is only working on max air output (not max heat setting). all other lower settings simply do not result in any air coming out of the vents. ...

as always, thank you for the reply. the thing is that i recently replaced a crankshaft position sensor all on my own, so i feel emboldened. combined with the fact that my kids' afterschool activities are sucking me dry, i figured to give it a shot myself instead of paying more at a local shop. am i ...

Many use www.CourtesyParts.com. They are actually Courtesy Nissan in Texas. They have very good prices and service. I used to use 1stAAANissanParts.com, which was Mike Barney Nissan in NY State. They had the best prices, but it seems they took down their site. thank you for the info! is there any w...

authorized OEM parts dealers
