This is one job that requires skill and the proper tools. Serious damage can be done to the engine if done incorrectly. Leave this to an expert. If you have lots of time, a service manual and a comfortable place to work you can do it. But to change on on a working vehicle it will take you all day, and you want to MAK SURE you do it right or you'll ruin the valvetrain and likely have to trash the car. What model year maxima do you have? 1995 to present model years all have Timing Chains (not belts!). These chains are designed to last the life of the car. Over the years, this chain may stretch slightly, in which case you can have it tightened. It should cost very little to have your local mechanic adjust the tension on your timing belt.
