Removal and installationNBS005RN
CAUTION:

Be sure to use genuine exhaust system parts or equivalents which are specially designed for heat
resistance, corrosion resistance, and shape.

Perform the operation with the exhaust system fully cooled down because the system will be hot
just after engine stops.

Be careful not to cut your hand on the heat insulator edge.
REMOVAL

Disconnect each joint and mounting using power tool.

Remove heated oxygen sensor 2 as follows:
–Using heated oxygen sensor wrench (SST), removal heated
oxygen sensor 2.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage heated oxygen sensor 2.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

Install the collar (5 of Components) with its lower surface horizontal.

Temporarily tighten nuts and bolts when installing exhaust pipe assembly. Tighten them to the specified
torque when connecting the vehicle rear to the vehicle front.
CAUTION:

Always replace exhaust tube gaskets with new ones when reassembling.

Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been dropped onto a hard surface such as a con-
crete floor. Use a new one.

Before installing a new heated oxygen sensor, clean exhaust system threads using the heated
oxygen sensor thread cleaner [commercial service tool: J-43897-18 or J-43897-12], and apply the
anti-seize lubricant (commercial service tool).

Do not over torque heated oxygen sensor. Doing so may cause damage to heated oxygen sensor,
resulting in the “MIL” coming on.

If heat insulator is badly deformed, repair or replace it. If deposits such as mud pile up on the heat
insulator, remove them.

When installing heat insulator avoid large gaps or interference between heat insulator and each
exhaust pipe.

Remove deposits from the sealing surface of each connection. Connect them securely to avoid
gases leakage.

Check each part for unusual interference, and then tighten them to the specified torque.

When installing each mounting rubber, avoid twisting or unusual extension in up/down and right/
left directions.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Make sure clearance between tail tube and rear bumper is even.

With engine running, check exhaust tube joints for gas leakage and unusual noises.

Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting rubbers are installed properly and free from undue
stress. Improper installation could result in excessive noise and vibration.

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
WARNING:
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) (VK45DE Engine Models)" .

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-88, "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" (VQ35DE)
or EC-790, "
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-741, "
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-748, "ON BOARD
REFUELING VAPOR RECOVERY (ORVR)" (VK45DE).

bolt head flange “A”.

To connect quick connector, refer to FL-7, "Quick Connector" .
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

When installing rubber bushings, the final tightening must be carried out under unladen conditions with
tires on ground. Oil might shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.
–Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.

After servicing suspension parts, be sure to check wheel alignment.

Self-lock nuts are not reusable. Always use new ones when installing. Since new self-lock nuts are pre-
oiled, tighten as they are.
