The Nissan Path

I have a 2006 Pathfinder. I have had it since 2008. My last trip to the dealer they told me I need the timing chain tensioners replaced. They quoted me $2800. After researching online, I started wondering why they didn't tell me about this problem the 100 other times I had been there before the warranty ran out.

Anyway.......my Pathfinder has 143,000 miles on it. I balked at their price.

Anybody have the flywheel locking tool they would like to sell?

Thanks!

I have one it’s a Kent more J tool. It’s not necessary by any means I’ve used a pry bar in the flex plate
access hole in the lower bell housing to hold the flexplate while someone breaks the crankshaft pulley bolt loose and then do the same thing once you get the timing cover off to break the cams Sprockets loose. Or you can pull one or both of the valve covers and hold the camshaft themselves as they have flat sides for a wrench to fit on them. Most likely by 140,000 miles the valve covers are starting to leak anyways I would suggest replacing not only the gasket but the valve cover itself as the spark plug tube seals are made into the cover and are leaking by then
