INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Surface Distortion

Check the surface distortion of the each exhaust manifold flange
mating surface with straightedge and feeler gauge.

If it exceeds the limit, replace exhaust manifold.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
Exhaust Manifold Gasket
Install exhaust manifold gasket with its directional protrusion set upward.
Refer to the figure of components on former page. Refer to EM-178, "
Removal and Installation" .
Exhaust Manifold

Install exhaust manifold in numerical order as shown in the fig-
ure.
NOTE:
Tighten mounting nuts No. 1 to 4 in two steps. The numerical
order No. 9 to 12 shown second steps.
Heated Oxygen Sensor

Install heated oxygen sensors in the original position.

Install referring the following if the installation positions cannot
be identified.
*: The length of glass tube of bank 2 is longer than the one
of bank 1.
CAUTION:

Before installing a new heated oxygen sensor, clean
exhaust system threads using oxygen sensor thread
cleaner (commercial service tool: J-43897-18 or J-43897-12), and apply anti-seize lubricant (com-
mercial service tool).

Do not over torque heated oxygen sensor. Doing so may cause damage to the heated oxygen sen-
sor, resulting in “MIL” coming on.Limit : 0.3 mm (0.012 in)

7. Install housing to spider assembly. Apply Nissan genuine grease
or equivalent to housing.
8. 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 shaft and housing, boot may come off. Remove
all grease from surfaces.
9. Make sure boot installation length “L” is the length indicated
below. Insert a flat-bladed screwdriver or similar tool into smaller
side of boot. Bleed air from boot to prevent boot deformation.
CAUTION:

Boot may break if boot installation length is less than standard value.

Take care not to touch the tip of screwdriver to inside surface of boot.
10. Install new larger and smaller boot bands securely with a suit-
able tool.
NOTE:

Discard old boot bands; replace with new ones.

Secure boot band so that dimension “M” shown bellow right
satisfies the following:
11. After installing housing and shaft, rotate boot to check whether
or not the actual position is correct. If boot position is not correct,
secure boot with new boot bands again.Grease amount : 95 − 105 g (3.35 − 3.70 oz)

to shaft. Be careful not to damage boot.
NOTE:
Discard old boot band and boot; replace with new ones.
3. Remove protective tape wound around serrated part of shaft.
4. Attach circular clip to shaft. At this time, circular clip must fit
securely into shaft groove. Attach nut to joint sub-assembly.
Use a wooden hammer to press-fit.
NOTE:
Discard old circular clip; replace with new one.
5. Insert the specified amount of grease (Nissan genuine grease or
equivalent) listed below into boot 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 shaft and housing of joint sub assembly, boot
may come off. Remove all grease from surfaces.
7. Make sure boot installation length “L” is the length indicated
below. Insert a flat-bladed screwdriver or similar tool into smaller
side of boot. Bleed air from boot to prevent boot deformation.
