2006 NISSAN PATROL drive shaft

Ring Gear and Drive Pinion
Check gear teeth for scoring, cracking or chipping. If any damaged
part is evident, replace ring gear and drive pinion as a set (hypoid
gear set).
Differential Case Assembly
Check mating surfaces of differential case, side gears, pinion mate
gears, pinion mate shaft, thrust block and thrust washers.
Bearing
1. Thoroughly clean bearing.
2. Check bearings for wear, scratches, pitting or ¯aking.
Check tapered roller bearing for smooth rotation. If damaged,
replace outer race and inner cone as a set.

To avoid confusion while calculating bearing shims, it is absolutely
necessary to stay with the metric system. If you measure anything
in inches,the results must be converted to the metric system.
Drive Pinion Height
1. First prepare Tools for pinion height adjustment.

V1Heightgauge(ST31251000)*
V2Dummyshaft(ST31181001)*
V3SpacerKV38108700 [thickness: 2.00mm (0.0787 in)]*
V4Feelergauge (commercial servcie tool)
2. To simplify the job, make a chart, like the one below, to orga- nize your calculations.

4. Place pinion rear bearing inner cone and Tools on gear carrier.
Tool number:

5. Attach Tool (Height gauge) to gear carrier, and measure the
clearance between the height gauge tip and the dummy shaft
face.
Tool number:
ST31251000
6. Substitute these values into the equation to calculate the thick-
ness of the washer.
If values signifying H, D¢and S are not given, regard them as
zero and calculate.

Disassembly
1. Remove side bearing inner cone with Tool. For removal
procedure, refer to ordinary differential case.
2. Loosen ring gear bolts in a criss-cross pattern.
3. Tap ring gear off the gear with a soft hammer.
4. Put marks on both differential cases.
5. Loosen screws on differential cases A and B using a press.
Tool number: ST33081000
6. Separate differential cases A and B.
7. Drive out pinion mate shaft lock pin with Tool.
Draw out component parts.

Removal
CAUTION:
+Before removing the rear axle, disconnect the ABS wheel
sensor from the assembly. Then move it away from the
axle. Failure to do so may result in damage to the sensor
wires and the sensor becoming inoperative.
+Wheel bearing does not require maintenance.
+If growling noise is emitted from wheel bearing during
operation, replace wheel bearing assembly.
+If the wheel bearing assembly is removed, it must be renewed.
The old assembly must not be re-used.
1. Disconnect parking brake cable and brake tube.
2. Remove nuts securing wheel bearing cage with baffle plate.
3. Draw out axle shaft with Tool.
When drawing out axle shaft, be careful not to damage oil seal.
4. Remove O-ring.
5. Remove oil seal with a screwdriver.
Do not reuse oil seal once it is removed.
Always install new one.
6. Remove ABS sensor rotor. Ð Models with ABS Ð
