Tow Truck TowingEAS001JB
CAUTION:

All applicable state or Provincial (in Canada) laws and local laws regarding the towing operation
must be obeyed.

It is necessary to use proper towing equipment to avoid possible damage to the vehicle during
towing operation. Towing is in accordance with Towing Procedure Manual at dealer.

Always attach safety chains before towing.

When towing, make sure that the transmission, steering system and power train are in good order.
If any unit is damaged, dollies must be used.

Never tow an automatic transmission model from the rear (that is backward) with four wheels on
the ground. This may cause serious and expensive damage to the transmission.
2WD MODELS
NISSAN recommends that vehicle be towed with the driving (front) wheels off the ground or that a dolly be
used as illustrated.
CAUTION:

Never tow automatic transmission models with the front wheels on the ground or four wheels on
the ground (forward or backward) as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the trans-
mission.
If it is necessary to tow the vehicle with the rear wheels raised, always use towing dollies under
the front wheels.

When towing automatic transmission models with the front wheels on towing dollies:
–Turn the ignition key to the OFF position, and secure the steering wheel in a straight ahead posi-
tion with a rope or similar device.
Never secure the steering wheel by turning the ignition key to the LOCK position. This may dam-
age the steering lock mechanism.
–Move the selector lever to the N (Neutral) position.

[QR]PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Drain Engine CoolantEBS00KN0
Drain engine coolant when engine is cooled.
Precautions for Disconnecting Fuel PipingEBS00KN1

Before starting work, make sure no fire or spark producing items are in the work area.

Release fuel pressure before disassembly.

After disconnecting pipes, plug openings to stop fuel leakage.
Precautions for Removal and DisassemblyEBS00KN2

When instructed to use special service tools, use the specified tools. Always be careful to work safely,
avoid forceful or uninstructed operations.

Exercise maximum care to avoid damage to mating or sliding surfaces.

Cover openings of engine system with tape or the equivalent, if necessary, to seal out foreign materials.

Mark and arrange disassembly parts in an organized way for easy troubleshooting and re-assembly.

When loosening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, start with the one furthest outside, then the one diagonally
opposite, and so on. If the order of loosening is specified, do exactly as specified.
Precautions for Inspection, Repair and ReplacementEBS00KN3
Before repairing or replacing, thoroughly inspect parts. Inspect new replacement parts in the same way, and
replace if necessary.
Precautions for Assembly and InstallationEBS00MRZ

Use torque wrench to tighten bolts or nuts to specification.

When tightening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, equally tighten in several different steps starting with the
ones in center, then ones on inside and outside diagonally in this order. If the order of tightening is speci-
fied, do exactly as specified.

Replace with new gasket, packing, oil seal or O-ring.

Dowel pins are used for several parts alignment. When replacing and reassembling with dowel pins, make
sure that dowel pins are installed in the original portion.

Thoroughly wash, clean, and air-blow each part. Carefully check oil or coolant passages for any restriction
and blockage.

Avoid damaging sliding or mating surfaces. Completely remove foreign materials such as cloth lint or dust.
Before assembly, oil sliding surfaces well.

Release air within route when refilling after draining coolant.

Before starting engine, apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch “ON” (with engine
stopped). Then make sure there are no leaks at fuel line connections.

After repairing, start engine and increase engine speed to check engine coolant, fuel, engine oil, and
exhaust systems for leakage.
Parts Requiring Angle TighteningEBS00KN5

Use an angle wrench (special service tool: KV10112100) for the final tightening of the following engine
parts.
–Cylinder head bolts
–Lower cylinder block bolts
–Connecting rod cap bolts
–Crankshaft pulley bolt (No angle wrench is required as the bolt flange is provided with notches for angle
tightening)
–Balancer unit

Do not use a torque value for final tightening.

The torque value for these parts are for a preliminary step.

Ensure thread and seat surfaces are clean and coated with engine oil.

Checking Drive BeltsEBS00KN7
WARNING:
Be sure to perform this step when the engine is stopped.

Make sure that the indicator (notch on fixed side) of drive belt auto-tensioner is within the possible use
range (between three line notches on moving side).
NOTE:

Check the drive belt auto-tensioner indication when the engine is cold.

When new drive belt is installed, the indicator (notch on fixed side) should be within the range “a” in the
figure.

Visually check entire drive belt for wear, damage or cracks.

If the indicator (notch on fixed side) is out of the possible use range or belt is damaged, replace drive belt.
Tension AdjustmentEBS00KN8
Belt tensioning is not necessary, as it is automatically adjusted by drive belt auto-tensioner.
Removal and InstallationEBS00KN9
REMOVAL
1. Remove splash guard on RH undercover.
2. Hold the hexagonal part in center of drive belt auto-tensioner
pulley with a box wrench securely. Then move the wrench han-
dle in the direction of arrow (loosening direction of tensioner).
CAUTION:

Avoid placing hand in a location where pinching may
occur if the holding tool accidentally comes off.

Do not loosen the hexagonal part in center of drive belt
auto-tensioner pulley (Do not turn it counterclockwise). If
turned counterclockwise, the complete drive belt auto-
tensioner must be replaced as a unit, including the pul-
ley.
3. Insert a rod approximately 6 mm (0.24 in) in diameter such as
short-length screwdriver into the hole of the retaining boss to fix drive belt auto-tensioner pulley.
4. Loosen drive belt from water pump pulley in sequence, and remove it.
