Maintenance time - tools needed?

Postby Alowishious » Sun Mar 08, 2015 8:27 am

So, annual bonus hits this week so it's maintenance and repair time.

2006 Pathfinder LE 4x4 126k miles

What I am doing.

Radiator bypass
Plugs
2 front converters replaced
2 rear hollowed out
2 front oxygen sensors
Rotors - all 4
Brake pads - all 4 wheels
Belt
Oil change
Air filter
Cabin air filter
New tires 285/70/17 with fender melt mod
Weather tech floor mats
Cooling system flush

But, a year ago I sold all my tools, yes I know that's a cardinal man sin. So now I need a tool list to go buy. I was hoping you all could help me list out everything I will need.

Also if anyone has any more suggestions on what else to do to the truck let me know.

Thanks
Chris in georgia

If I was replacing the belt, I'd get the updated serpentine tensioner and belt from Nissan. You'll need an oxygen sensor wrench to do the sensors. Most of the items need just basic hand tools and metric sockets. If you are replacing the spark plugs without removing the upper plenum, like I do, you will need a good assortment of reducers and universals and a ratcheting 10mm combination wrench.
