SOURCE: where is my fuel filter 2001 nissan altima

Most of the time there is an inlet screen/filter in fuel tank attached to fuel pump. But there should be another filter between tank and fuel rail. it should be located on the firewall, so if you work backward from an injector toward the gas tank you will bump right in to the filter along the way.

SOURCE: i need a serpentine belt diagram for a 2001 nissan

If you look under you hood on top of the radiator or on the under side of the hood there should be a diagram there.  If not go to Autozone and they can print it off for you usually.

replace the bulb by unscrewing the threaded flange on the back side of the headlamp. pull out the wiring harness connected to the light, and change the bulb.These bulbs should not be touched because the natural oils from fingers can ruin them!

SOURCE: how do you change a

Just did this over the weekend with my 2001 Nissan Altima. First, remove the negative battery cable to prevent shorting. Drain the radiator by removing the drain screw. To gain access to the water pump, I had to remove the upper radiator hose to the engine, unattach the reserve tank hose from the radiator and take out the reserve tank, remove the alternator and the lower alternator bracket because it blocks access to one of the water pump bolts and move the serpentine belt out of the way. This should give you free access to the six bolts that attach the water pump. You will probably have to hit the water pump with a rubber mallet or some other tool to break the sealant on the water pump, but it should then just come off. The hardest part of the job for me was removing the bolts for the alternator bracket because they were on extremely tight. Reinstall your new water pump after applying sealant to all parts that will attach to the bracket, and your ready to put it all back together. If you have the right tools, this should take probably 4 or 5 hours to complete.

1995 Altima 2.4L How to reassemble water pump to the water pump body(or water pump cover or water pump housing ) to engine block.

There's a YouTube video at the link below showing replacement of the water pump and thermostat. It's lengthy, but at 29:40 and 30:18, it shows the cover bolted to the block. It should give you a pretty good idea of the orientation of the cover and the water pump.
According to information I found elsewhere, 1993-2001 is all the same.
