Any Interest In How-To's?

[PQuest]

I drive motorcycles. When I attempt a new service on my motorcycles there are several sites where I can find detailed (with color photos) how-to articles, download them, print them, and head to it with my service manual. I find these truly invaluable. I am able to service both of my machines from the very simple oil change to the complex valve clearance.

I purchased my wife a 2004 Quest SE. There are not many how-to articles. I have changed the oil and filter, flushed and changed the coolant, sucked and refilled the power steering, changed the engine air filter, changed the in-cabin filter, even lithium greased all the hinges and doors with only the service manual (thank you NissanHelp, best $10 I ever spent).

My question is with a transmission fluid change and brake work on the horizon would it benefit anyone if I went ahead and started taking pictures of this as I do it and try to put together a PDF for the Quest Forum folks? I'll do it if it will help anyone as it would have saved me a lot of time. Of course it will come with the obligatory do this at your own risk, don't blame me for anything, yes I burned myself on that and I already know how bad that tastes warnings.

Let me know.

Hello PQuest!

I'm sure every one will be interested on how-to projects. I'm actually starting a new section for the site with diy projects. I already have around 15 projects with pictures and technical information, but I'm working on more before I release it to the public.

I would love to see a how tosection for Quest's my water pump went out today and I would like to replace all the belts, hoses, WP, timing belt, tenisoner, and cam seals. but like he said not much help out there for the Quest. I did it on my pathy but they put that engine in straight.
If anyone has any tips please share.
Thanks,
Brian
