Precautions
lWhen installing rubber parts, final tightening must be
carried out under unladen condition* with tires on
ground.
*: Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire,
jack, hand tools and mats in designated positions.
lUse flare nut wrench when removing or installing brake
tubes.
lAfter installing removed suspension parts, check wheel
alignment and adjust if necessary.
lAlways torque brake lines when installing.

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.

6. Check wheel bearing preload.
a. Turn bearing cage (with respect to axle shaft) two or three
times. It must turn smoothly.
b. Attach spring gauge to bearing cage bolt (as shown at left)
and pull it at a speed of 10 rpm to measure preload.
Spring gauge indication:
6.9 - 48.1 N (0.7 - 4.9 kg, 1.5 - 10.8 lb)
7. Install new oil seal to rear axle housing using a suitable tool.
After installing new oil seal, coat sealing lip with multi-pur-
pose grease.
8. Install new O-ring to rear axle housing.
9. Press ABS sensor rotor onto axle shaft until it contacts wheel
bearing lock nut.
10. Position axle shafts in rear axle housing with Tool as a guide.
Be careful not to damage oil seal.
11. Check axial end play.
a. Check that wheel bearings operate smoothly.
b. Check axial end play.

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.

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.
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.
