4. Attach circular clip to shaft. At this time, circular clip must fit
securely into the shaft groove. Attach nut to joint sub-assembly.
Use a wooden hammer to press-fit.
CAUTION:
Discard the old circular clip; replace with a new one.
5. Insert the amount of grease (Nissan genuine grease or equiva-
lent) listed below into housing from large end of boot.
6. Install boot securely into grooves (indicated by * marks) shown
in the figure.
CAUTION:
If there is grease on boot mounting surfaces (indicated by *
marks) of joint sub-assembly, boot may come off. Remove
all grease from surfaces.
7. Check that boot installation length “L” is the length indicated
below. Insert a flat-bladed screwdriver or similar tool into smaller
side of boot. Remove air from boot to prevent boot deformation.
CAUTION:
lBoot may break if boot installation length is less than standard value.
lBe careful that screwdriver tip does not contact inside surface of boot.
8. Secure big and small ends of boot with new boot bands as
shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
Rotate housing and check that boot installation position
does not change. If position changes, reinstall boot bands.Grease amount : 35 - 45 g (1.23 - 1.59 oz)

lNo continuity ... Replace.
PINION/CLUTCH CHECK
1. Inspect pinion teeth.
lReplace pinion if teeth are worn or damaged. (Also check
condition of ring gear teeth.)
2. Inspect reduction gear teeth (If equipped).
lReplace reduction gear if teeth are worn or damaged. (Also
check condition of armature shaft gear teeth.)
3. Check to see if pinion locks in one direction and rotates
smoothly in the opposite direction.
lIf it locks or rotates in both directions, or unusual resistance is
evident. ... Replace.
BRUSH CHECK
