PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
CautionEDS0004O
●Do not reuse the drained transfer oil.
●Check the oil level with the vehicle on the level ground.
●During removal and installation, be careful not to allow foreign material such as dust or dirt to enter into
the transfer unit.
●Before starting diagnosis of the vehicle, understand trouble symptoms well. Perform correct and system-
atic operations.
●Check for the correct installation status prior to removal or disassembly. If mating marks are required, be
certain they do not interfere with the function of the parts they are applied to.
●Carry out the work in a clean work place. Using a dust proof room is recommended.
●Before disassembly, using steam or white gasoline, completely remove sand and mud from the exterior of
the unit, preventing them from entering into the unit during disassembly or assembly.
●Check appearance of the disassembled parts for damage, deformation, and abnormal wear. If a malfunc-
tion is detected, replace it with a new one.
●Normally replace O-rings, oil seals, bearings, and lock nuts with new ones every time they are removed.
●In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If
tightening sequence is specified, observe it.
●Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow them dry.
●Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.
●Always use shop paper for cleaning the inside of components.
●Do not use cotton gloves or a shop cloth. Using them may leave lint on the surface of the parts.
●During assembly always tighten bolts and screws to specified torque. New transfer oil a petroleum jelly
such as "Vaseline", or multi-purpose grease as appropriate.
●Discard waste oil after oil changes or part treatment in accordance with local laws and regulations.

Adapter case
1. Select the adjusting shim on the gear ring bearing.
●TF-23, "SELECTIONG ADJUSTING SHIMS".
2. Install the oil gutter.
3. Using a drift, install the selected adjusting shim and gear ring
bearing outer race to the adapter case.
4. Using a drift, drive the oil seal until it becomes flush with the
case end.
CAUTION:
●When checking the overall preload torque, measure it
without the oil seal, then install the oil seal.
●Discard old oil seals; replace with new ones.
●Apply multi-purpose grease onto oil seal lips, and gear
oil onto the circumference of the oil seal.
5. Apply recommended sealant on drain plug and install it to the
adapter case.
6. Apply multi-purpose grease lightly and evenly onto an O-ring, and install it to the adapter case.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse the O-ring.
7. Install the adapter case to the transfer case, and apply anti-cor-
rosive oil onto threads and seats on the mounting bolts. Tighten
to the specified torque.
8. Check backlash, preload torque, tooth contact, and companion
flange runout.
●TF-14, "Assembly Inspection".
CAUTION:
Measure the overall preload torque without the oil seal.

●Before starting diagnosis of the vehicle, understand symptoms well. Perform correct and systematic oper-
ations.
●Check for the correct installation status prior to removal or disassembly. When mating marks are required,
be sure they do not interfere with the function of the parts they are applied to.
●Carry out an overhaul in a clean work place. Using a dust proof room is recommended.
●Before disassembly, using steam or white gasoline, completely remove sand and mud from the exterior of
the unit, preventing them from entering into the unit during disassembly or assembly.

●Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow them dry.
●Be careful not to damage the sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.
●When applying sealant, remove the old sealant from the mounting surface; then remove any moisture, oil,
and foreign materials from the application and mounting surfaces.
●Always use shop paper for cleaning the inside of components.
●Avoid using cotton gloves or a shop cloth to prevent entering of lint.
●During assembly, observe the specified tightening torque, and apply new differential oil, Vaseline, or Nis-
san MP Special Grease No. 2, as specified for each vehicle, when necessary.
●Do not reuse drained oil. Discard waste oil after oil changes or part treatment in accordance with local
laws and regulations.
Precautions for Brake SystemEDS00102
●When 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.
●After installing removed suspension parts, check wheel alignment and adjust if necessary.
●Use flare nut wrench when removing or installing brake tubes.
●Always torque brake lines when installing.

DRIVE GEAR BACK RUNOUT
1. Drain the oil.
2. Remove the rear cover.Refer to RFD-20, "

4. Fit a dial gauge to the drive gear back face.
5. Rotate the drive gear to measure runout.
●If outside the repair limit, check drive gear assembly condition;
foreign material may be caught between drive gear and differen-
tial case, or differential case or drive gear may be deformed, etc.
CAUTION:
Replace the drive gear and drive pinion gear as a set.: 31 - 36 N·m (3.2 - 3.6 kg-m, 23 - 26 ft-lb)
: 5.9 N·m (0.6 kg-m, 52 in-lb)
Backlash : 0.10 - 0.15 mm (0.0039 - 0.0059 in)
When the backlash is large:
Make the drive gear back adjusting shims thicker, and the drive gear front adjusting
shims thinner.
When the backlash is small:
Make the drive gear back adjusting shims thinner, and the drive gear front adjusting
shims thicker.
