Thank you for the advice. Been on my back the past few trying to figure out weather to push from the top or bottom. Can be really hard to tell what the hell you're looking at down there sometimes and it's filthy as hell from 14 years of road dust.
As far as the fuel hose goes, I wasn't sure of the size so I went ahead and bought the genuine Nissan one. Hopefully that won't make it too much harder.
Thanks again
