thanx, re: water pump replacement. it's a 1985 maxima. i have the manual
but it doesn't even mention the 'shroud/timing belt cover'. i discovered
the name while searching the internet. The article i found did not mention
the number of bolts, but mentioned 'clips' on the lower cover. i think
there may be a bolt on the lower that holds both lower and upper, but i
can't reach it!!

The manual doesn't mention the timing belt cover?
Well, it may not in the water pump section, but look under the timing belt
section. If you're doing a water pump, you should do the belt and belt
tensioner as well. The parts are very cheap, and you'll be in there
anyway.
Good luck,
