REMOVAL
1. Set engine slinger to engine, then suspend an engine.
2. Remove tire from vehicle with power tool.
3. Remove undercover with power tool.
4. Remove front cross bar.
5. Remove mounting bolts which are at the back of transverse link
(mounting part with body) with power tool, separate transverse
link.
6. Remove mounting bolts which are at the front of transverse link
with power tool, separate transverse link.
7. Remove steering hydraulic piping bracket from front suspension
member. Refer to PS-41, "

CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
Tire RotationALS000HB

After rotation the tires, adjust the tire pressure.

Retighten the wheel nuts when the vehicle has been driven for
1,000 km (600 miles) (also in cases of a flat tire, etc.).
CAUTION:

Do not include the T-type spare tire when rotating the tires.

When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing
the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.
Checking Brake Fluid Level and LeaksALS000FQ

If fluid level is extremely low, check brake system for leaks.
Checking Brake Lines and CablesALS000FR

Check brake fluid lines and parking brake cables for improper
attachment, leaks, chafing, abrasions, deterioration, etc.
Changing Brake FluidALS000FS
1. Drain brake fluid from each bleed valve.
2. Refill until new brake fluid comes out from each bleed valve.
Use same procedure as in bleeding hydraulic system to refill
brake fluid.
Refer to BR-10, "
Bleeding Brake System" .

Refill with recommended Genuine Nissan Super Heavy Duty
Brake Fluid or equivalent DOT 3 (US FMVSS No. 116).
Refer to MA-12, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS" .

Never reuse drained brake fluid.

Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.Tightening torque of wheel nut

STEERING WHEELPFP:48430
On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceAGS000GW
CHECKING CONDITION OF INSTALLATION

Check installation condition of steering gear assembly, front suspension, axle and steering column.

Check if movement exists when steering wheel is moved up and down, to the left and right and to the axial
direction.

Check if the mounting bolts for steering gear assembly are loose
or not. Refer to PS-19, "
POWER STEERING GEAR AND LINK-
AGE" .
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL PLAY
1. Set tires to the straight ahead, start engine, then turn steering wheel to the left and right lightly, and mea-
sure steering wheel movement on the outer circumference when steering wheel is turned up to the point
where tires start moving.
CHECKING NEUTRAL POSITION ON STEERING WHEEL
Check neutral position on steering wheel after confirming that front wheel alignment is correct. Refer to FSU-
6, "Wheel Alignment Inspection" .
1. Set vehicle to the straight direction, check if steering wheel is in the neutral position.
2. If it is not in the neutral position, remove steering wheel and reinstall it correctly.
3. If the neutral position cannot adjust in the two teeth of steering gear assembly, loosen outer socket lock
nuts of steering outer sockets, then adjust outer socket by the same amount in the opposite direction.
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL TURNING FORCE
1. Park vehicle on a level and dry surface, set parking brake.
2. Remove driver air bag module from steering wheel. Refer to SRS-36, "
DRIVER AIR BAG MODULE" .
3. Start engine at idle, make steering fluid reach to normal operat-
ing temperature [50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F)], then check steering
wheel turning torque with pre-load gauge (SST).
4. If steering wheel turning force is out of the specification, check
relief hydraulic pressure of oil pump. Refer to PS-31, "
POWER
STEERING OIL PUMP" . End play of the axle direction for steering wheel : 0 mm (0 in)
