boot band.
Wheel Side
1. Insert the Genuine NISSAN Grease or equivalent, into the jointsub-assembly serration hole until the grease begins to ooze
from the ball groove and serration hole. Refer to MA-11, "
REC-
OMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" . After inserting the
grease, use a shop cloth to wipe off the grease that has oozed
out.
2. Wrap the serrated part of the drive shaft with tape. Install the boot band and boot onto the shaft. Do not damage the boot.

CANTS" .
6. Install the boot securely into the grooves (indicated by the * marks) as shown.
CAUTION:
If there is grease on the boot mounting surfaces (indicated
by the * marks) of the drive shaft and joint sub-assembly,
the boot may come off. Remove all grease from the drive
shaft surfaces.
7. Check that the boot installation length “L” is the specified length. Insert a suitable tool into the large end of the boot, as shown.
Bleed the air from the boot to prevent boot deformation.
CAUTION:

The boot may break if the boot installation length is less than the specified length.

Do not contact inside surface of boot with the tip of the suitable tool.
8. Secure large and small ends of the boot using new boot bands using tool as shown.
NOTE:
Discard the old boot bands and use new ones for assembly.

Secure boot band so that dimension "M" meets specification
as shown.
9. After installing the housing to the shaft, rotate the boot to check that it is positioned correctly. If the boot is not positioned correctly, remove the old boot bands then reposition the boot and secure the boot with new
boot bands. Grease capacity : 145

10. Install side bearing adjusters into gear carrier.
11. Apply differential gear oil to the side bearings, and install the dif-
ferential case assembly with the side bearing outer races into
the gear carrier.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse side bearing outer race when replacing side
bearing inner race (replace as a set).
12. Install the side bearing caps with the matching marks aligned. NOTE:
Do not tighten at this step. This allows further tightening of side
bearing adjusters.
13. Tighten each side bearing adjuster alternately turning drive gear.
14. Check and adjust tooth contact, backlash, drive gear runout and total preload torque. Refer to FFD-16,
"Tooth Contact" , FFD-17, "Backlash" , FFD-15, "Drive Gear Runout" and FFD-15, "Total Preload Torque"
.
Recheck above items.

After adjusting tooth contact and backlash secure side bear-
ing adjuster with screws and tighten side bearing cap bolt to
the specified torque. Refer to FFD-14, "
COMPONENTS" .
15. Apply multi-purpose grease to the lips of the new side oil seal. Then drive the new side oil seal in evenly to the gear carrier using suitable tool.
CAUTION:

Do not reuse side oil seal.

Do not incline the new side oil seal when installing.

Checking Fuel LinesEBS00M3Q
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 PrecautionsEBS00M3R
WARNING:
When replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following.

Put a “CAUTION: INFLAMMABLE” 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:

Before removing fuel line parts, carry 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-80, "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
–Disconnect the battery negative terminal.

Always replace O-rings and clamps with new ones.

Do not kink or twist hoses when they are being installed.

Do not tighten hose clamps excessively to avoid damaging
hoses.
Tighten high-pressure rubber hose clamp so that clamp
end is 3 mm (0.12 in) from hose end.
Tightening torque specifications are the same for all rubber
hose clamps.
Check that the screw does not contact adjacent parts.

After connecting the fuel tube quick connectors, make sure
the quick connectors are secure.
Ensure that the 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 con-
nections.
–Start the engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at
connections.

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-32, "
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM" .

For servicing “On Board Refueling Vapor Recovery
(ORVR)” parts, refer to EC-39, "
ON BOARD REFUELING

bly. Remove and discard the fuel level sensor, fuel filter, and fuel
pump assembly O-ring.
CAUTION:

Do not bend the float arm during removal.

ponents.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

For installation, use a new fuel level sensor, fuel filter, and fuel pump assembly O-ring.

Connect the quick connector as follows:
–Check the connection for any damage or foreign materials.
–Align the connector with the pipe, then insert the connector straight into the pipe until a click is heard.
–After connecting the quick connector, make sure that the con-
nection is secure by checking as follows:
–Pull the tube and the connector to make sure they are securely
connected.
–Visually inspect the connector to make sure the two retainer tabs
are securely connected.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Turn the ignition switch ON but do not start engine, then check the fuel pipes and hose connections forleaks while applying fuel pressure to the system.
2. Start the engine and rev it above idle speed, then check that there are no fuel leaks at any of the fuel pipe and hose connections.Tool number : — (J-46536)
