How to replace 2002 Nissan 3 5 Maxima Fuel Filter 2000 2004 pt 1

Replace the bolt.

Pull the wheels drop your strut pull the shaft catch the oil or drain it first. Pull all your bolts hosses and electrical wires get the jack under it undo the torque converter is the easiest.

Most hood latches are adjustable. I do not refer tho the part that is bolted to the hood , I mean the part that is bolted to the car.
Check and see if that will help you.
