Fan Belts?

Fan Belts?
I just got back from the mechanic shop and he mentioned that I needed to replace 2 fan belts. I was looking through my repair manual and didn't see anything mentioned about fan belts I'm not sure if he was refering to the 2 drive belts that might need to be replaced in my 96 maxima. I found the drive belts at the local pep boys and was wondering how long or difficult it would be for me to install myself with the manuals help? thanks

Mine are still original and are still find at 61K miles, although they are 11 years old. From what I gather, it will take longer than 1/2 hour to change them if you haven't done it before. Make sure you check the deflection so you know how tight to leave the new belts.
I've seen a write-up somewhere on how to change the belts. It appears to me that you don't own a Haynes manual. I suggest you buy one if you are intent on DIY maintenance.

I have no cracks in the belts and no squealing on startup and was told recently I'm good to go. I also have the OEM platinum plugs in still and the car runs like day 1. No miss, no hesitation, idle bang on 700 rpm
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
