Working on 3.3Liter V6 Nissan Xterra, -Ok Take Neg Cable Off Battery,- Set motor to TDC Compression #1 #1 is front right Cylinder, -Remove Timing Belt, -Remove your timing belt tensior pulley, -Ok The Crankshaft Timing Sprocket take and remove outer spacer ring now take spray wd40 ect..behind gear try to get wd40 work between crank and gear i take hammer and gently knock the great back into the pump then i take crow feet and work the gear forward between the oil pump and the rear spacer ring then spray with wd40 and repeat process now if the lip of the spacer rings bends forward take straighten with vice and hammer, -Now time to drain Motor Oil,- Now Go to your right front Frame and remove 3 19mm head nuts off 19mm bolts from Idler Arm, push tires together Toe In, Watch your center link drop now you can began to remove your oil pan,Remove Starter, Remove the left bracket 14mm bolts and the right starter spacer Take Note: 14mm bolt just above the lowest starter bolt remove starter shim spacer, the 10mm bolts rear of oil pan 1/4 extiension and 1/4 10mm scoket -,The Motor mount 14mm nuts will have to be removed from the right mount almost all the way off your left drivers side mount, lift motor gently off right mount about 1 inch off the mount. Ok Remove Oil Pan From The Motor, Take Note 2 12mm head bolts right / left side of oil pump longest goes into alternator bracket, 4 10mm bolts 1 is hidden Lower right side Pump front now your oil pump will be loose to remove off pull forward to front of truck....I find that pouring Lucas engine oil stabalizer into the pump where oil filter mounts and turn pump until prime and take lithium grease and rub inside of front main crank seal..before installing new pump..!!! Take Note: if the crank sprocket gear is Stubborn I have seen Map Gas and i have seen holes drilled into front of gear, then Tapped and 2 bolt puller to remove the Sprocket but keep in mind your going to replace the pump so you can use a little force to get it to move just keep soaking with penatrating oil get it working back and forth....Hope this helps Oh yes Take Note: The converter Bolt Cover Will come out but the Engine - Transmission Spacer plate Will Stay in Place.I have seen tech take cutoff wheel and cut the engine Transmission Spacer Plate Where Starter Sits In And The left Side And Place it back into place where the bellhousing bolts hold it back in place but you should not have to do this..just thought it intersting...Dyi Nissan Xterra 3.3liter V6 Oil Pump R&R......

Posting pics on next post!

First things first; 1) check Terminals and make sure tight & clean 2) Make sure the batteries good 3) Make sure connection from battery to starter is secured 4) Make sure its not the starter clicking if it is change it. 5) Make sure starter relay is good located with all fuses!

I changed the starter in my 1996 Nissan Sentra, and I assume the 1997 Sentra is very similar to mine. It's a VERY nasty job. Basic steps are: 1) put car on lift or on ramps (so you can get underneath) 2) remove cable connections to battery 3) remove oil filter (yes, that's right. The filter needs to be removed to provide proper clearance for your hands, tools, and starter itself. Yuck!) 4) remove the bolt on the lower portion of the support strut for the intact manifold, so the support strut can be gently moved slightly to the side to provide clearance 5) remove the electrical connections to the starter 6) remove the 2 bolts holding the starter to the engine. One is accessible from below, and the other one (believe it or not) is accessible from the top. Installation of course is the reverse of the above. It's a genuine pain to change the starter. But, on the positive side, it beats having to pay the dealer or a mechanic.

There are a few tips/under line a few points, after just having done it. You need a long group of extensions. Just undo both battery cables to minimize risk. Undo where the negative battery cable attaches to the engine. There is a bolt next to this that you can undo too. Either this bolt or the battery cable bolt holds the starter. (you'll see on the starter housing one bolt hole is trhough, one is threaded.)
Remove the oil filter. Remove the plastic shroud near the right tire. Remove the strut (or at least the lowest bolt so you can turn it) that will make it impossible to get a socket or remove the starter itself. Unscrew the bolt for the power cable to the starter assembly before removing the starter. Now use your long, long extension to hold the ratcher near the right wheel and tunnel through that mess to get the underneath 14mm bolt. Wiggling out the starter assembly is like getting the oil filter out, a bit crowded.
