Cooling Fan (Crankshaft driven)
DISASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
+Do not release the drive belt tension by removing the fan/water
pump pulley.
+Fan coupling cannot be disassembled and should be replaced
as a unit. If front markj
Fis present, install fan so that side
markedj
Ffaces the front.
+Install the drive belt only after the fan and fan coupling to water
pump ¯ange bolts/nuts have been properly torqued.
+Proper alignment of these components is essential. Improper
alignment will cause them to wobble and may eventually cause
the fan to separate from the water pump causing extensive
damage.
INSPECTION
Check fan coupling for damage, oil leakage and bent bimetal.
Cooling Fan (Motor driven)
Cooling fan is controlled by ECM. For details, refer to ``Cooling
Fan'', ``TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR DTC 28'' in EC section.

Checking Water Entry
Check water entry in the clutch housing by removing the seal-
ing grommet, whenever driving in deep water or mud.
Checking Transfer Fluid Level
Never start engine while checking ¯uid level.
1. Check transfer for leakage.
2. Check ¯uid level.
Filler plug:
:25-34Nzm (2.5 - 3.5 kg-m, 18 - 25 ft-lb)
Changing Transfer Fluid
Fluid grade:
Genuine Nissan ATF or equivalent or API GL-4.
Refer to ``RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND
LUBRICANTS'', MA-9.
Fluid capacity:
1.9 liters (1-5/8 Imp qt)
Drain plug:
:25-34Nzm (2.5 - 3.5 kg-m, 18 - 25 ft-lb)
Checking Propeller Shaft
Check propeller shaft for damage, looseness or grease leakage.
Tightening torque: Refer to PD section.
Greasing Nipples of Propeller Shafts
Apply multi-purpose grease to nipples of propeller shafts.

Grease
FRONT WHEEL BEARING GREASE
Apply multi-purpose grease sparingly to the following parts:
+Threaded portion of spindle
+Contact surface between wheel bearing washer and outer
wheel bearing
+Grease seal lip
+Wheel hub (as shown at the left)
AXLE JOINT GREASE
+Drain approximately 2 liters (1-3/4 Imp qt) of differential oil.
+Remove knuckle spindle.
+Slightly pull out axle and repack axle joint with recommended
grease.
Refer to FA section.
Checking Free-running Hub Grease
Check free-running hub grease for leakage and water or dust entry.
Checking Water Entry in Knuckle Flange
+Check for water entry in knuckle ¯ange by removing one bolt
of lower knuckle ¯ange bearing cap and probing with a suitable
thin bar.
+After checking, be sure to reinstall the bolt to a tightening torque
of 30 to 40 Nzm (3.1 to 4.1 kg-m, 22 to 30 ft-lb).
Checking Brake Fluid Level and Leaks
If ¯uid level is extremely low, check brake system for leaks.
