How to remove and replace the fuel pump in a 4th gen Maxima.
Due to how I speak and the shitty mic on my camcorder, audio may be difficult to understand at times.
Replacing water pump, 4th gen Maxima (1/3)
How to remove the water pump in a 4th gen Maxima. Ran out of tape before I could get to installation, but it's pretty much the opposite of removal.
In the near future I should be uploading the belt tensioner bracket and right motor mount videos.
Between the shitty mic on my camcorder, the way I talk, and constantly moving around while filming, it may be difficult to understand what I'm saying. If I wasn't so damn lazy, I might consider making captions...if.

Replacing front window regulators, 4th gen Maxima
How to remove and replace the front window regulators in your 4th gen Maxima.
Audio does get a bit loud whenever I'm playing with the camera, completely forgot to correct that during editing.
Also, looks like I accidentally edited out reconnecting the window motor's harness, but that should be a given after regulator reinstallation. A function test before reinstalling the door panel is a good idea for exactly this reason, forgetting things.
Replace spark plugs/coil packs on a 4th gen Maxima (updated video)
How to remove and replace the spark plugs/coil packs on a 4th gen Maxima.
This is an updated video to replace the one from a few years ago that was completely washed out and didn't really cover the subject as well as I would have liked.
Tools required are a 8mm socket (or phillips head screwdriver), 5/8" plug socket, extensions, 4mm allen key/bit socket for the front coil cover bolts, and a 12mm socket for the EVAP CPVCV (if so equipped).
Replace rear strut mounts, 4th gen Maxima
How to remove and replace the rear strut mounts on the 4th gen Maxima. This will work for strut replacement as well, or any other reason for you to tear down the rear struts.
You'll need a spring compressor (unless you are installing pre-assembled strut assemblies), 12mm socket for the strut mount-body bolts, 14mm socket for the upper strut mount retaining nut, and a 17mm socket for the lower strut mounting bolt.

Remove/replace radiator, 4th gen Maxima
How to remove and replace the radiator in your 4th gen Maxima.
The video was extremely overexposed, did the best I could in making it at least somewhat watchable. A lot of editing took place as well to fit within YouTube's 10 minute limit...bah.
Remove/replace lower control arm, 4th gen Maxima
How to remove and replace the lower control arm in your 4th gen Maxima.
I don't know why it didn't occur to me while filming, but you won't be able to get the LCA to pivot with a prybar when the sway bar endlink is still attached.
Also, you don't absolutely need to torque the LCA bolts, but it's my personal preference to do so.
Yes, a lift makes this much easier, but obviously isn't necessary either.

Removing/replacing coils and spark plugs, 4th gen Maxima (outdated)
How to remove/replace the coil packs and spark plugs on a 4th gen Maxima.
Video isn't nearly as in-depth as the other ones, and it's also very washed out (my camcorder sucks in the daylight). Probably end up redoing this one at some point in the future, possibly going through replacing all 6 with gapping, and certainly when it's darker out.
This is an outdated video, I have since uploaded an updated video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsDLHULZbsE
Replacing front brakes, 4th gen Maxima
Replacing the front pads and rotors on a 4th gen Maxima.
Due to the 10 minute limitation on YouTube, I did have to cut out a bit of more in-depth cleaning, lubing, and general safety information (as well as a half dozen more sarcastic remarks and curses, damnit).
There's a good writeup on motorvate, here: http://www.motorvate.ca/mvp.php/300
Yes, the lighting sucks, especially the very last section.
Remove/replace evaporator, 4th gen Maxima
How to remove and replace the evaporator box on a 4th gen Maxima. Didn't have enough time to get into splitting the box and replacing individual components, but once it's out it's very easy.

Hanging out with the head of engineering was a real treat, he was kind enough to make this video with me about the different parts inside a fuel pump. It was also great to learn about the different types of fuel pumps that Airtex makes.
