Set bolts in the two bolt holes [M6 × pitch 1.0 mm (0.04 in)] on
the front surface. Using suitable puller, pull oil pump drive
spacer off from crankshaft.
NOTE:
The dimension between the centers of the two bolt holes is 33
mm (1.30 in).

a. Insert oil pump drive spacer according to the directions of crank-
shaft key and the two flat surfaces of oil pump inner rotor.
If the positional relationship does not allow the insertion,
rotate oil pump inner rotor with a finger to allow spacer.
b. After confirming that the position of each part is in correct condi-
tion to allow for spacer, force fit spacer by lightly tapping with
plastic hammer until it contacts and does not go further.

Checking Seat Belt, Buckles, Retractors, Anchors and AdjustersNLS0008I
CAUTION:
After any collision, inspect all seat belt assemblies, including retractors and other attached hard-
wares (I.e. anchor bolt, guide rail set). Nissan recommends to replace all seat belt assemblies in
use during a collision, unless not damaged and properly operating after minor collision.
Also inspect seat belt assemblies not in use during a collision, and replace if damaged or improp-
erly operating.
Seat belt pre-tensioner should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during a frontal col-
lision where the driver and passenger air bags are deployed.
If any component of seat belt assembly is questionable, do not repair.
Replace as seat belt assembly.
If webbing is cut, frayed, or damaged, replace belt assembly.
Never oil tongue and buckle.
Use a genuine NISSAN seat belt assembly.
For details, refer to SB-32, "
Seat Belt Inspection" in SB section.
Check anchors for loose mounting
Check belts for damage
Check retractor for smooth operation
Check function of buckles and tongues when buckled and released

PEDAL STROKE
Operate parking brake pedal with a force of 196 N (20 kg, 44 lb), make sure pedal stroke is within the
specified number of notches. (Check it by listening and counting ratchet clicks.)
INSPECT COMPONENTS
Make sure that the mounting conditions (looseness, backlash, etc.) of each component are normal.
Check the following:
–Device assembly for bend, damage and cracks. Replace if there are.
–Cables and equalizer for wear and damage. Replace if there are.
–Parking brake switch. Replace if it does not work correctly.
ADJUSTMENT
To perform adjustment operations, remove rear tires from vehicle with power tool.
1. Insert a deep socket wrench onto adjusting nut. Rotate adjusting
nut to fully loosen cable, and then release parking brake pedal.
2. Secure disc rotor to hub using wheel nut so as not to tilt disc
rotor.
3. Remove adjuster hole plug installed on the disc rotor. Turn the
adjuster in direction “A” using a flat-bladed screwdriver as
shown, until disc rotor is locked. Turn the adjuster in the oppo-
site direction by 5 or 6 notches after locking.
4. Rotate disc rotor to make sure that there is no drag. Install the
adjuster hole plug.
5. Adjust parking brake cable with the following procedure.
a. Operate parking brake pedal 10 or more times with the force of
full stroke.
b. Rotate adjusting nut to adjust parking brake pedal stroke using a
deep socket wrench.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse adjusting nut after removing it.
c. Operate parking brake pedal with a force of 196 N (20 kg, 44 lb), make sure the pedal stroke is within the
specified number of notches. (Check it by listening and counting ratchet clicks.)
d. Make sure that there is no drag on rear brake with parking brake pedal completely released.Pedal stroke : 3 - 4 notches
