"The bad news is that to be able to access the 3 other bolts that hold the light assembly together, you have to remove the front bumper. including the grill. It is really not that hard, but you should take your time to do it right and to make sure you put it back together the same way. To remove the bumber you must unscrew to screws that are located inside each wheelwell behind the cover. I found it easier to remove both front wheels and hold the car up in stands unfront. these are the only screws that you will find, two on each side. after that just remove the black self taping screws from the grill and then reach behind the grill and compress the tabs that hold the grill to the bumper. remove the grill and then keep removing the self taping screws until the bumper comes off. BE CAREFULL to not let the bumper drop as it still has your conner lights connected. you can disconnect the corner lights or just place something to support the bumper. Hope this helps you, If you take it to the dealer they charge a labor of about $250.00 plus parts." -http://www.nissanclub.com/forums/2004-2008-nissan-maxima-gen-6-discussion/237350-2004-nissan-maxima-se-headlight-bulb-replacement.html

I have a 2004 nissan maxima that has a water coolant gasket leak. I'm trying to fix it myself but I don't see any threads explaining how.I really need help

Which gasket is it you are talking about ... a cylinder head gasket or a water pump gasket?

A cylinder head gasket replacement isn't straightfoward or cheap to do and requires a lot of technical ability and tools... In the UK a cylinder head gasket replacement would cost about £1000 - probably the same in US dollars

If it is the cylinder head gasket, try a special additive in the coolant system. The images below are generic. You will find similar products in the USA:

For radiator/block sealant have a look for something like:

However, if you're determined to replace a gasket yourself, it's a workshop manual you need.

Just replaced camshaft sensor, bank 2, on a 2004 nissan maxima and now i have a loss of power, but the car runs smooth again. the same code keeps coming back though. what else can i do?

did you have a cam sensor stored?? and also which bank sensor did you replace?? bank 1 and bank 2 can be easily mixed up. well not mixed up, but bank 1 is by the firewall. bank 2 is at the radiator. you may have replaced bank 1 instead of bank 2. so when you remove the air box to replace sensors and you are lookin at the connectors, bank 1 is the one on the right side head. bank 2 is the left side head if you are looking at it from air box side. if you are looking at it from crank pulley side, bank 1 is on the left and bank 2 is on the right head. what code do you still have stored??
