INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Shaft

Replace shaft if there is any runout, cracking or other damage.
Joint Sub-Assembly

Make sure there is no rough rotation or unusual axial looseness.

Make sure there is no foreign material inside joint sub-assembly.

Check joint sub-assembly for compression scars, cracks or fractures.
CAUTION:
If there are any irregular conditions of joint sub-assembly components, replace the entire joint
sub-assembly.
Slide Joint Side
Housing and spider assembly

If roller or roller surface of spider assembly has scratch or wear, replace housing and spider assembly.

9. Secure big and small ends of boot with new boot bands as
shown in figure.
CAUTION:
Rotate housing and check that boot installation position
does not change. If position changes, reinstall boot bands.
Wheel Side
1. Use a drift (SST) to press-fit sensor rotor into joint sub-assem-
bly.
CAUTION:

Discard the old sensor rotor; replace with a new one.
2. Insert the amount of grease (NISSAN genuine grease or equiva-
lent) into joint sub-assembly serration hole until grease begins to
ooze from ball groove and serration hole. After inserting grease,
use a shop cloth to wipe off old grease that has oozed out.
3. Wind serrated part of shaft with tape. Install new boot band and
boot to shaft. Be careful not to damage boot.
CAUTION:
Discard old boot band; replace with new ones.
4. Remove protective tape wound around serrated part of shaft.
5. Attach new circular clip to shaft. At this time, circular clip must fit
securely into shaft groove. Attach nut to joint sub-assembly.
CAUTION:
Discard old circular clip; replace with new ones.
6. Insert the amount of new grease (NISSAN genuine grease or
equivalent) listed below into housing from large end of boot.
