Dcarlton: I think I saw a thread from you that talked about changing the thermostat w/o taking off the sepentine belt and tensioner bracket as called out in the FSM. I did it your way and it worked fine, though I had to use my 1/4 stuff to get in there. (Also removed the horn to give my catcher's mitt hands some more room!) Understand about weak parts now failing - I expect a heater hose to blow in the next month LOL.
How bad was the water pump replacement? I've read different comments ranging from "easy" to " really hard" on a couple of Maxima sites.
