how do you get in to replace the belts? Do you have to remove the fan?

2000 maxima doesnt have a fan belt. fans are powered by 2 fan motors. 1 motor per fan. no belts to replace for fan.

You shouldn't have to remove the fan in order to replace the alternator or belt.

You can do it. If it takes longer than 10 minutes something is wrong. If its a V8 make sure the tensioner is good, Fan belts rarely just "break" so check all the pulleys.

U shouldnt need too remove the fan to replace the belt. all u need too do is work the belt around the fan blades.
