Removal
lBefore removing the rear axle, disconnect the ABS
wheel sensor from the assembly. Then move it away
from the axle. Failure to do so may result in damage to
the sensor wires and the sensor becoming inoperative.
lWheel bearing does not require maintenance.
lIf growling noise is emitted from wheel bearing during
operation, replace wheel bearing assembly.
lIf the wheel bearing assembly is removed, it must be
renewed. The old assembly must not be re-used.
1. Disconnect parking brake cable and brake tube.
2. Remove nuts securing wheel bearing cage with baffle plate.
3. Draw out axle shaft with Tool.
When drawing out axle shaft, be careful not to damage oil
seal.
4. Remove case shim and case seal.
Ð 2WD and 4WD models without ABS Ð
5. Remove O-ring. Ð 4WD models with ABS Ð
6. Remove oil seal.
Do not reuse oil seal once it is removed.
Always install new one.
7. Remove ABS sensor rotor. Ð 4WD models with ABS Ð
8. Unbend lock washer with a screwdriver.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ``AIR
BAG'' (4WD models)
The Supplemental Restraint System ``Air Bag'', used along with a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or
severity of injury to the driver in a frontal collision. The Supplemental Restraint System consists of an air
bag module (located in the center of the steering wheel), a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring har-
ness and spiral cable. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in theRS sectionof
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
lTo avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN dealer.
lImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system.
lDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses are covered with yellow insulation either just before the
harness connectors or for the complete harness, for easy identification.

sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system.
lDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS.
Precautions for Steering System
lBefore disassembly, thoroughly clean the outside of the unit.
lDisassembly should be done in a clean work area. It is important to prevent the internal parts
from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
lFor easier and proper assembly, place disassembled parts in order on a parts rack.
lUse nylon cloths or paper towels to clean the parts; common shop rags can leave lint that might
interfere with their operation.
lBefore inspection or reassembly, carefully clean all parts with a general purpose, non-flammable
solvent.
lBefore assembly, apply a coat of recommended ATF* to hydraulic parts. Petroleum jelly may be
applied to O-rings and seals. Do not use any grease.
lReplace all gaskets, seals and O-rings. Avoid damaging O-rings, seals and gaskets during instal-
lation. Perform functional tests whenever designated.
*: Automatic Transmission Fluid type DEXRON
TMII E, DEXRONTMIII, or equivalent.

PRECAUTIONS
EL-1

CAUTION:
If it becomes necessary to start the engine with a booster
battery and jumper cables,
a. Use a 12-volt booster battery.
b. After connecting battery cables, ensure that they are
tightly clamped to battery terminals for good contact.
c. Never add distilled water through the hole used to check
specific gravity.
How to Handle Battery
METHODS OF PREVENTING OVER-DISCHARGE
The following precautions must be taken to prevent over-dis-
charging a battery.
lThe battery surface (particularly its top) should always be
kept clean and dry.
lThe terminal connections should be clean and tight.
lAt every routine maintenance, check the electrolyte level.
This also applies to batteries designated as ``low mainte-
nance'' and ``maintenance-free''.
lWhen the vehicle is not going to be used over a long period
of time, disconnect the negative battery terminal.
lCheck the charge condition of the battery.
Periodically check the specific gravity of the electrolyte. Keep
a close check on charge condition to prevent over-discharge.
CHECKING ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
WARNING:
Do not allow battery fluid to come in contact with skin, eyes,
fabrics, or painted surfaces. After touching a battery, do not
touch or rub your eyes until you have thoroughly washed
your hands. If acid contacts eyes, skin or clothing, immedi-
ately flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical atten-
tion.

(4.0 - 4.5 kg-m, 29 - 33 ft-lb).
2nd: Tighten bolts to 59 - 64 Nzm
(6.0 - 6.5 kg-m, 43 - 47 ft-lb).
3rd:

der head bolts with paint as shown.
(2) Turn all bolts 90 10 degrees clockwise.
(3) Check that the paint mark of each bolt is fac-
ing the front of the vehicle.
lAlways check the bolt tightening angle with an
angle wrench or protractor. Do not check visu-
ally.
4. Apply engine oil and install push rods.
5. Install rocker shaft assembly.
