specified torque. Refer to FFD-15, "
COMPONENTS" .
CAUTION:
Tighten bolts in a crisscross fashion.
10. Press side bearing inner races to differential case, using the drift
and the base.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse side bearing inner race.
11. Press-fit side bearing outer race into side retainer with the drift
and the drift bar.

At first, using a hammer, tap bearing outer race until it
becomes flat to side retainer.
Do not reuse side bearing outer race.
12. Press-fit side bearing outer race into gear carrier with the drift
and the drift bar.
CAUTION:
At first, using a hammer, tap bearing outer race until it
becomes flat to gear carrier.
Do not reuse side bearing outer race.
13. Place the differential case assembly into gear carrier.
14. Measure side bearing preload. If necessary, select the appropri-
ate side bearing adjusting shim. Refer to FFD-25, "
Side Bearing
Preload" .

16. Apply multi-purpose grease to O-ring (2), and install it to side
retainer.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse O-ring.
17. Install side retainer assembly to gear carrier.
18. Install side retainer mounting bolts to the specified torque. Refer
to FFD-15, "
COMPONENTS" .
19. Using the drift, press-fit side oil seal so that its surface comes
face to face with the end surface of the side retainer.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse oil seal.
When installing, do not incline oil seal.
Apply multi-purpose grease onto oil seal lips, and gear
oil onto the circumference of oil seal.
20. Using the drift, press-fit side oil seal so that its surface comes
face to face with the end surface of gear carrier.

Checking Fuel LinesNBS005R8
Inspect fuel lines, fuel filler cap and fuel tank for improper attach-
ment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterio-
ration.
If necessary, repair or replace damaged parts.
General PrecautionsNBS005R9
WAR NING :
When replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following.
Put a “CAUTION: FLAMMABLE” sign in the workshop.
Be sure to work in a well ventilated area and furnish workshop with a CO2 fire extinguisher.
Do not smoke while servicing fuel system. Keep open flames and sparks away from the work area.
CAUTION:
Use gasoline required by the regulations for octane number. Refer to GI-6, "Precautions for Fuel
(Unleaded Premium Gasoline Required)" .
Before removing fuel line parts, perform out the following procedures:
–Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof container and put the lid on securely. Keep the container in
safe area.
–Release fuel pressure from the fuel lines. Refer to EC-98, "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" (VQ35DE)
or EC-809, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" (VK45DE).
–Disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal.
Always replace O-ring and clamps with new ones.
Do not kink or twist tubes when they are being installed.
Do not tighten hose clamps excessively to avoid damaging hoses.
After connecting fuel tube quick connectors, make sure
quick connectors are secure.
Ensure that connector and resin tube do not contact any
adjacent parts.
After installing tubes, make sure there is no fuel leakage at
connections in the following steps.
–Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch
“ON” (with engine stopped). Then check for fuel leaks at
connections.
–Start engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at con-
nections.
Use only a genuine NISSAN fuel filler cap as a replacement.
If an incorrect fuel filler cap is used, the “MIL” may come
on.
For servicing “Evaporative Emission System” parts, refer to
EC-39, "
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM" (VQ35DE) or
EC-749, "
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM" (VK45DE).
For servicing“On Board Refueling Vapor Recovery (ORVR)”
parts, refer to EC-46, "
ON BOARD REFUELING VAPOR
RECOVERY (ORVR)" (VQ35DE) or EC-756, "ON BOARD
REFUELING VAPOR RECOVERY (ORVR)" (VK45DE).
