Removal and InstallationEBS00ILW
WAR NIN G:

Situate vehicle on a flat and solid surface.

Place chocks at front and back of rear wheels.

For engines not equipped with engine slingers, attach proper slingers and bolts described in
PARTS CATALOG.
CAUTION:

Always be careful to work safely, avoid forceful or uninstructed operations.

Do not start working until exhaust system and engine coolant are cooled sufficiently.

If items or work required are not covered by the engine section, refer to the applicable sections.

Always use the support point specified for lifting.

Use either 2-point lift type or separate type lift. If board-on type is used for unavoidable reasons,
support at the rear axle jacking point with transmission jack or similar tool before starting work, in
preparation for the backward shift of center of gravity.

For supporting points for lifting and jacking point at rear axle, refer to GI-40, "Garage Jack and
Safety Stand" .
REMOVAL
Preparation
1. Drain engine coolant. Refer to MA-12, "DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT" .
2. Partially drain A/T fluid. Refer to AT - 1 3 , "
Changing A/T Fluid" .
3. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-46, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
4. Remove the engine hood. Refer to BL-12, "
HOOD" .

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.

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
General PrecautionsEAS00148

Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time without
proper exhaust ventilation.
Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any flammable
materials. Special care should be taken when handling any flam-
mable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refrigerant gas,
etc. When working in a pit or other enclosed area, be sure to
properly ventilate the area before working with hazardous mate-
rials.
Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.

Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tire
blocks to the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. After
jacking up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety
stands at the points designated for proper lifting before working
on the vehicle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.

When removing a heavy component such as the engine or tran-
saxle/transmission, be careful not to lose your balance and drop
them. Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent parts, especially
the brake tubes and master cylinder.

Before starting repairs which do not require battery power:
Turn off ignition switch.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

If the battery terminals are disconnected, recorded memory of
radio and each control unit is erased.

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead
and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.

To prevent serious burns:
Avoid contact with hot metal parts.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.

Dispose of or recycle drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning
parts in an appropriate manner.

Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically.
Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire.

Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent
prior to inspection or assembly.

Replace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers, cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new
ones.

Replace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and needle bearings as a set.

Arrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their assembled locations and sequence.

Do not touch the terminals of electrical components which use microcomputers (such as ECM).
Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.

After disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, attach a tag to indicate the proper connection.

Use only the fluids and lubricants specified in this manual.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCEPFP:00026
Introduction of Periodic MaintenanceELS00100
Two different maintenance schedules are provided, and should be used, depending upon the conditions in
which the vehicle is mainly operated. After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, continue the periodic
maintenance at the same mileage or time intervals, whichever comes first.
Maintenance For Off-road Driving (4WD only)ELS0012H
After driving the vehicle off-road through sand, mud, or water; more frequent maintenance may be required for
the following items:
Brake pads and rotors
Brake lines and hoses
Rear final drive oil, transmission fluid, and transfer fluid
Steering linkage
Drive shafts
Engine air cleaner filter
In-cabin microfilters
Schedule 1ELS00101
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Abbreviations: R = Replace. I = Inspect. Correct or replace if necessary. [ ]: At the mileage intervals only Schedule 1Follow Periodic Maintenance Schedule 1 if your driving habits frequently includes
one or more of the following driving conditions:

Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles (8 km).

Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) with outside temperatures
remaining below freezing.

Operating in hot weather in stop-and-go “rush hour” traffic.

Extensive idling and/or low speed driving for long distances, such as police,
taxi or door-to-door delivery use.

Driving in dusty conditions.

Driving on rough, muddy, or salt spread roads.

(1) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, inspect every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 12 months. Replace drive belts if damaged.
(2) If operating mainly in dusty conditions, more frequent maintenance may be required.
(3) Maintenance-free item. For service procedures, go to the FL section.
(4) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, replace every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months.
(5) If valve noise increases, inspect valve clearance.
* Maintenance items and intervals with “*” are recommended by NISSAN for reliable vehicle operation. The owner need not perform
such maintenance in order to maintain the emission warranty or manufacturer recall liability. Other maintenance items and intervals are
required.
