f. Further tighten by 90 degrees. (Angle tightening)

Check the tightening angle by referencing to the notches. The
angle between two notches is 90 degrees.
15. Rotate crankshaft pulley in normal direction (clockwise when viewed from engine front) to confirm it turns
smoothly.
16. Install in the reverse order of removal after this step.
NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal/installation, slack in guide may gen-
erate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this does not indicate an unusualness.
Noise will stop after hydraulic pressure rises.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Before starting engine, check the levels of engine coolant, lubrications and working fluid. If less than
required quantity, fill to the specified level.

Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of engine coolant, engine oil and working
fluid, fuel and exhaust gas.

Bleed air from passages in pipes and tubes of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.

After cooling down engine, again check amounts of engine coolant, engine oil and working fluid. Refill to
specified level, if necessary.

Removal and Installation of Front Oil SealABS006IN
REMOVAL
1. Remove the following parts:

Front engine undercover

Radiator; Refer to CO-39, "RADIATOR"

Drive belt; Refer to EM-169, "DRIVE BELTS" .

Cooling fan; Refer to CO-47, "COOLING FAN" .

Rear plate cover; Refer to EM-181, "OIL PAN AND OIL STRAINER" .
2. Set ring gear stopper (SST).
3. Loosen crankshaft pulley bolt, and then pull crankshaft pulley
with both hands to remove it.
CAUTION:

Do not remove crankshaft pulley bolt. Keep loosened
crankshaft pulley bolt in place to protect removed crank-
shaft pulley from dropping.

Do not remove balance weight (inner hexagon bolt) at the
front of crankshaft pulley.
4. Remove front oil seal using suitable tool.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage front cover and oil pump drive
spacer.
INSTALLATION
1. Apply engine oil to both oil seal lip and dust seal lip.
2. Using suitable drift, press fit until the height of front oil seal is
level with the mounting surface.

6. Separate engine from transmission assembly. Refer to AT- 2 6 9 , "
Removal and Installation (AWD models)"
.
7. Remove front final drive from engine. Refer to FFD-10, "
FRONT FINAL DRIVE ASSEMBLY" .
8. Remove engine mounting insulators (RH and LH) and brackets (RH and LH) from engine with power tool.
9. Remove engine rear member and engine mounting insulator (rear) from transmission.
INSTALLATION
Note to the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

Where positioning pin is used, be sure to securely insert it into the hole of mating part.

When installing engine mount brackets (RH and LH) to cylinder
block, tighten two upper bolts (shown as “A” in the figure) first.
Then tighten two lower bolts (shown as “B” in the figure).
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Before starting engine, check the levels of engine coolant, engine oil and working fluid. If less than
required quantity, fill to the specified level.

Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
–Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel
leakage at connection points.
–Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.

Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of engine coolant, engine oil, working fluid,
fuel and exhaust gas.

Bleed air from passages in pipes and tubes of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.

After cooling down engine, again check amounts of engine coolant, engine oil and working fluid. Refill to
specified level, if necessary.

CONSULT-II CHECKING SYSTEM
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
Nickel Metal Hydride Battery Replacement AAS000E9
CONSULT-II contains a nickel metal hydride battery. When replacing the battery obey the following:
WARNING:
Replace the nickel metal hydride battery with Genuine CONSULT-II battery only. Use of another bat-
tery may present a risk of fire or explosion. The battery may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if
mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble or dispose of in fire.
Keep the battery out of reach of children and discard used battery conforming to the local regulations.
Checking Equipment AAS000EA
When ordering the following equipment, contact your NISSAN/INFINITI distributor.
CAUTION:

Previous CONSULT-II “I” and “Y” DLC-I and DLC-II cables should NOT be used anymore because
their DDL connector pins can be damaged during cable swapping.

If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carry out CAN communication.

If CONSULT-II CONVERTER is not connected with CONSULT-II, vehicle occur the “FAIL SAFE
MODE” which is “LIGHT UP the HEAD LIGHT” and/or “COOLING FAN ROTATING” when CON-
SULT-II is started.
NOTE:

The CONSULT-II must be used in conjunction with a program card.
CONSULT-II does not require loading (Initialization) procedure.

Be sure the CONSULT-II is turned off before installing or removing a program card.
CONSULT-II Start ProcedureAAS000EB
NOTE:
Turning ignition switch off when performing CAN diagnosis could cause CAN memory can be erased.
1. Connect CONSULT-II and CONSULT-II CONVERTER to the
data link connector.
