I have a 2002 Xterra with 100k. When I start it up it smokes a lot out of the tailpipe but after a couple minutes goes away.

Im half way through replacing my water pump and im stuck...the power steering pump pully blocks access to the final bolt that needs to be removed so the water pump can be removed so i can replace the water pump... any hints on how to get to the bolt so i dont disassemble something i dont need to?

and when i removed the break pads i noticed that the clips that were on them had rusted and one had actually snapped when it dropped to the ground. i didn't get new ones with the new break pads i had bought. do i need to go out and buy new clips?

All i need is a picture of the belt pattern or a decent description. There's nothing in the manual on it. Thanks
